Talea Ensemble Residency

“The Talea Ensemble makes modernist music not just accessible but positively engaging through its combination of commanding virtuosity and infectious commitment.”  -TimeOut New York

We are pleased to welcome Talea Enemble for the first part of a two part residency this academic year! Talea will be performing a concert of contemporary music on October 22 (tickets available here) followed by a workshop of student works the next day. The concert includes works by current UB faculty members Tiffany M.
