The Atlas is presented by Christian Frederickson for the Hearing Pictures series and supported by the Council for the Arts at MIT (CAMIT) and MIT Music and Theater Arts.

THE ATLAS is an hour long concert work that is the result of a musical investigation influenced by the two step process of creating an atlas, namely that of explorer (to identify and understand the land) and of guide (to lead others through it). The land in this case is a combination of the sonic possibilities of piano techniques today, the vast landscape of piano repertoire in contemporary and classical music, and the composer's own set of varied experience performing avant-garde, experimental, and improvised musics, alongside the string quartet possibilities.
