"NeXt Festival of Contemporary Music." Works by three rising stars in contemporary music: Michael Ippolito, Jess Turner and John Leszczynski—with pieces by two icons in contemporary music, Karel Husa and John Harbison.
The performance will include the world premiere of Ippolito’s West of the Sun, along with Turner’s Through the Looking Glass, Leszczynski’s Scherzo a la Britten, Husa’s Concerto for Saxophone featuring UGA faculty member Connie Frigo and Harbison’s Three City Blocks.
Before the concert, Ippolito, Turner and Leszczynski will join members of the UGA composition faculty for a public roundtable discussion of new directions in music. The three guest composers will also speak to the audience before their works are performed.
