Presenting original compositions and performances by:

• Yunxiang Gao
• Kelly Moran
• Josh Ottum
• Kyle Vinton
• Nazo Zakkak

This is the third concert presenting works by the graduate students of Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology (ICIT), an MFA program of the Music Dept. ICIT embraces diverse forms of music making, challenging conventional distinctions between classical composition, computer music, improvisation, and jazz. It seeks to break down traditional limitations of academic programs, focusing on contemporary modes of creative music making and the critical discourses surrounding them. The works to be performed in this concert are primarily by the first-year cohort of ICIT graduate students.
