UMBC Composers Receive Commission, Premieres, and Internship
Lynn Dixon ('21) was commissioned for a solo piano work by the DC New Music Coalition, and the resulting In Black, White, and Gray will be premiered June 25 at 8 pm online. Kathryn Blake's ('21) All Burnt Up was selected by Balance Campaign for performance at their fundraising concert, also in June. Three UMBC composers (Fayber Rodriguez, David Lomotey, and Alfredo Ruiz-Malca) had works premiered in the installation "Isolation and Community" in collaboration with lighting design students produced by UMBC's Department of Theatre in the Proscenium Theater in May. Jeffrey Martin's Shifting Evanescense was performed by the UMBC Percussion Ensemble (Tom Goldstein, Director) at the Royal Irish Academy of Music Percussion Festival online in April. Dale Gray has been accepted for an internship this summer doing typesetting for the WorshipNOW publishing company. Congratulations to all!
