Join composer Inga Chinilnina for a conversation on whether music is a universal language and how it serves as a tool for sharing stories, sonic experiences, and emotions. In her talk, Inga will explore music as an act of translation—what is preserved, lost, and transformed in the process. We will examine how cultural conventions and musical traditions shape the way composers think and communicate through music. Through examples from her recent works, Inga will demonstrate how music conveys feelings, sonic memories, and personal experiences.
