This is the first concert presenting works by the graduate students of Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology (ICIT), a new MFA program instituted this academic year by 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 by the initial first-year cohort of ICIT graduate students.
