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!

Works to be performed include the two winning pieces chosen from our call, one work by future graduate student Petra Anderson and works by American born composers Margaret Brouwer and Roy Harris.
