    Outline

    Big Ears is an annual festival that takes place in Knoxville, TN, that is specialized in what one may call "edge" music: a lot of genre hybrids, music with an expansive vision, jazz, classical and experimental music. This is a festival that boasts a high concentration of bands and artists that produce non-mainstream, low on the commercial scale music. It is a festival that makes musical exploration its primary goal. It takes place across a number of theaters, churches, and other large spaces around the city.

    In its 2023 edition, the the festival will be showcasing NYC based modern composer John Zorn's music in 8 separate concerts, each highlighting a particular group, album or style of composition of Zorn's, and including Zorn himself performing with his Pain Killer trio. There will also be four concerts, each featuring the works of a different avant-garde composer: Eliane Radigue, Annea Lockwood, Steve Reich and Catherine Lamb.
