‘String Theory’ to be presented at Flyover new music concert on March 21

Westbrook Music Building, home to Nebraska's Glenn Korff School of Music.

The fourth Flyover new music concert is 7:30 p.m. March 21 in Westbrook Music Building, Room 119.

The Flyover New Music Series is the new music series presented by composition students in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Glenn Korff School of Music. The series is administered and overseen by composition faculty and students, including Greg Simon, assistant professor of composition.

The concert is free and open to the public and also available through a live webcast.

The fourth concert of the 2021-2022 season is titled “String Theory.” In collaboration with David Neely’s studio, this concert will feature numerous new works written for the violin.

“Student composers on this concert were paired with violinists from Professor Neely’s studio, working collaboratively to create music for the violin in a variety of different instrumentations, including string quartets, violin duets, violins with electronics, a string octet, and a violin and marimba duet,” said John Cope, a graduate teaching assistant in the music composition area. “The program will be rounded out with a piece written for solo flute. We are excited to share our collaborative projects with our audience, both in-person in Westbrook Recital Hall, as well as online via our livestream.”
