New Horizons Music Festival
October 24-25, 2014
Truman State University
The New Horizons Music Festival is a day of contemporary music featuring performers from the university and the surrounding region. The Festival includes music from most of the major genres in modern performance: chamber groups, multimedia, solo performers, large ensembles, and theatrical performance. The concerts and ongoing curated exhibition provide a substantive slice of contemporary music focusing on music that leverages the techniques of the classical musician and looks to the future.
The sixteenth edition of Truman’s festival of contemporary and experimental music, this year’s Festival features six concerts on the beautiful Truman State University campus in Kirksville, Missouri.
We are pleased to announce that our guest composer for this year’s festival is Amy X Neuburg, an renowned composer and performer of electric and eclectic cabaret music accompanied using her own unique blend of technologies that involve electronic percussion and live-looping. At the close of the festival, the Truman Percussion will perform a newly commissioned work by Ms. Neuburg for percussion ensemble and soprano.
The New Horizons Music Festival will be held on the Truman campus on Saturday, October 25th.
