Rochberg at UPenn
After the death of his son from a brain tumor, George Rochberg finds serial music inadequate to express his grief and thus abandons seriality to become a Neo Romantic composer at UPenn. He has also been called a neoconservative postmodernist. With George Crumb and Richard Wernick they become a major force at the University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia music.
