R. Murray Shafer is a Canadian composer, writer, music educator and environmentalist, perhaps best known for his World Soundscape Project, concerning acoustic ecology. On Thursday, October 24th, Esprit Orchestra will perform his work, "No Longer Than 10 Minutes", which reveals Schafer's marvelous sense of humour through a masterful composition -- a tongue in cheek comment on resistance to new compositions considered too long for anyone's good.
