New Lights Ensemble: Haunted Library
The New Lights Ensemble will haunt the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library on Halloween with some of the most ghoulish music they could find: works by Kodaly, Crumb, Shostakovich, Cage and Webern!
Stop by before the evening’s traditional festivities to be spooked in the strangest way ever.
The New Lights Ensemble is a group of forward-thinking musicians dedicated to creating unique musical experiences through a fresh approach to presentation and programming. They strive to make concerts as interesting and unique as the people who attend them.
Canceled: ETHEL and Todd Rundgren: Producing Live Recordings
ETHEL and Todd Rundgren will give a seminar/discussion on the process of creating live recordings.
Both ETHEL and Rundgren draw from a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area, and they share their thoughts on the challenges and possibilities therein — from the practicalities of editing and mixing to the applications of live tracks in commercial and not-for-profit contexts.
This session is run as an open forum where audience members are encouraged to ask questions and contribute their own observations.
TEMPO: Between the Lines
TEMPO is a contemporary music ensemble run entirely by graduate students of the University of Maryland School of Music. Concerts specialize in performance of music written post-1950. TEMPO had its first call for musical scores this fall and received music from students across the world!
