“Neruda” at New Music Festival 2020

41st Annual Bowling Green New Music Festival
Programs on YouTube begin on October 15!

Featuring guest composer AUGUSTA READ THOMAS
and guest ensemble THIRD COAST PERCUSSION

At the heart of the Center’s activities is the renowned New Music Festival. This annual event celebrates the contemporary arts through concerts, panels, art exhibitions, seminars, master classes and papers.

We aren't going to be able to meet in person, isn't quite our normal NMF experience, but we will not be deterred; we will continue with pre-recorded concert and interview offerings that will be released starting in mid-October.
These offerings will include an interview with featured guest composer Augusta Read Thomas, a special performance by Third Coast Percussion, and three concert presentations by our own intrepid faculty and students, including works by Stephen Hartke, Evan Williams, Gemma Peacocke, Matthew Evan Taylor, Tony Manfredonia, Marilyn Shrude, Julius Eastman, Inez McComas, Hong-Da Chin, Tie Zhou, Pablo Gomez-Estevez, Mikel Kuehn, Joseph Klein, Jlin, Tyondai Braxton, and Philip Glass...and of course our featured guest Augusta Read Thomas including the WORLD PREMIERE of Con Moto, a new work for Third Coast!
