Event Detail

The signature event in the series merges the talents of faculty, students and alumni for a set of four performances in the world-class Conrad Prebys Concert Hall. The event will feature two compositions by alum Sarah Hennies, a contemporary composer and percussionist. In “Clock Dies,” themes of time and perception are explored through subtle rhythms and textures, challenging conventional listening expectations and offering an almost hypnotic experience. This performance will be followed by “Settle,” a minimalist work that Hennies and Schick will perform on vibraphone.

The Reed Family Concert is also an opportunity for graduate student composers to shine. The event will open with a work by composition doctoral candidate Delong Wang, whose work reflects deep engagement with experimental practice. In addition, performance doctoral student Myra Hinrichs will perform György Ligeti’s “Violin Concerto.”
