The University of Louisville New Music Festival is an annual event devoted to the promotion of the diverse music of our times. The festival demonstrates the School of Music’s commitment to the study, performance and celebration of contemporary music. Works of the late 20th and 21st century are featured in free, open to the public concerts presented by various ensemble combinations, such as Chamber Music, Electronic Music, Wind Ensemble, New Music Ensemble, Choir and Symphony Orchestra. The festival features many world and American premieres as well as performances of exiting new music presented by faculty, students and guest artists. Each year the festival features a distinguished guest composer who shares her/his work, knowledge and experience with audiences, faculty and students.
The guest composer for the 2010 New Music Festival will be Danish composer Per Nørgård, who will be joined by two highly acclaimed artists: Peter Herresthal (violin) and Jakob Kullberg (cello). Our guests will engage in lectures, presentations, master classes and performances of Per Nørgård’s works as well as other new music.
