The University of Iowa Center for New Music will present Composers Workshop II, a free concert featuring the work of composition students in the UI School of Music, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 28, in Riverside Recital Hall on the UI campus.

The program will feature:

The Center for New Music, a performance organization devoted to the late 20th and early 21st century repertoire, is the focus of contemporary composition and performance at the UI. The center, directed by David Gompper, functions as a laboratory and performance extension of the school’s composition area, and as a repertory ensemble for the creation and presentation of new music in general.

The School of Music is part of the Division of Performing Arts in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For accommodations at the concert contact the School of Music at 319-335-1603. For a UI arts calendar and details about upcoming events visit the new Arts Iowa website.
