Presenting eight world premieres by UMD School of Music student composers, Living Music celebrates the process of creating new music and the intimate collaboration between composer and performer. Each composer featured on the program has had the opportunity to work closely with members of the Pressez Quartet (flute, oboe, clarinet and piano) through the composition process, resulting in a unique collaboration and level of engagement from both composers and performers.

Following the performance, there will be a Q&A so that audience members can explore
the artistic intentions behind each composition as well as the collaborative process of
rehearsing and premiering the works.
