| Lots of exciting music being made at the Center this year! |
The Robert and Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music is excited to announce its 2014-2015 Calendar of Events. There will be a ton of great music being made at the Center this year, with performances by the Slee Sinfonietta, Mivos String Quartet, and the Deviant Septet, among other spectacular ensembles. In addition to exciting concerts that will delight fans of adventurous new music, our calendar features student composer workshops with visiting ensembles as well as our Visiting Lecture Series, with renowned guests such as Larry Groupé, Rand Steiger, and Daniel Asia. The year will culminate in June in Buffalo 2015, which celebrates two anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of the founding of the festival, and the 30th anniversary of the festival under the directorship of David Felder. 2015 also marks the second year of the June in Buffalo Performance Institute. Finally, the Center will be co-sponsoring a number of exciting events by A Musical Feast, null point, and Music in Buffalo's Historic Places.
We're looking forward to a great year, and we hope to see you at these events!
