Silent film accompanist Donald Sosin and Director of Jazz Studies Gary Motley talk about music improvisation at an Emory-sponsored Creativity Conversation (4/3/2014). The two renowned pianists discussed and demonstrated the differences and similarities in their approaches.

Sosin has been enthralling audiences in the US and Europe for more than 40 years. He is a featured artist on silent film releases by Kino International, Milestone Films, and the Criterion Collection. He has performed at the Museum of Modern Art, Italy’s Pordenone Silent Film Festival, and Bologna’s Cinema Ritovata.

Creativity Conversations put distinguished visiting thinkers and creators in conversation with great Emory scholars. Past topics range from the interplay between words and music, and intersections of history and creativity to experiences in microfinancing and feminist jurisprudence.
