Music composition students premiere new pieces

Each semester the College of the Arts, together with the Hugh A. Glauser School of Music, presents the Student Composers Concert.

Featuring composition students beyond sophomore status, the concert is an opportunity for them to focus their pieces and gain experience working with musicians and seeing audience reactions.

All pieces included in this semester’s program are world premieres and the students wrote them in their spare time outside of classes.

This semester’s concert will be held Monday at 8 p.m. in Ludwig Recital Hall of the Music and Speech Center and admission is free.
