Department of Music to present Composers of Western concert March 1

Western Washington University’s Department of Music will present Composers of Western, a group composed of student composers and musicians led by faculty Roger Briggs, Bruce Hamilton and Lesley Sommer, at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 1, in the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall on the Western campus.

Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.

"We have a very talented and enthusiastic group of composition students and performers which should translate into an exciting program of new works; every work is being publicly performed for the first time,” said Hamilton.

The concert will include works for saxophone quartet, marimba, violin, flute, string quartet, brass quintet and mixed chamber ensemble. Some works have theatrical and humorous elements and some feature virtuosic playing from student performers.
