The School of Music at the University of Louisville is widely recognized for its commitment to the presentation of contemporary music. In keeping with this commitment, we are proud to present our Fall 2022 New Music Festival, November. 5-10. Premiered in 1998, the festival is forging an important tradition that highlights inNovemberation and creativity, two hallmarks of our school's mission.

Past festivals have featured acclaimed composers and artists from around the world representing an exciting variety of styles, media, and techniques. This year's festival will highlight works of guest composers: João Pedro Oliveira, Katie Balch, composers associated with Louisville Orchestra Creative Corps: Nkeiru Okoye, Tanner Porter, Alex Berko, Tyler Taylor, Baldwin Giang as well as works of UofL faculty and students. Guest ensemble Longleash Trio will read works of student composers and perform concert on Tuesday, November 7. Guests will work with students and faculty and will coach the ensembles, give masterclasses and presentations.
