Building upon contemporary musical performance practice developed since the early 1960s, the Wesleyan New Music Group directed by Dr. Tyshawn Sorey will perform an open dress rehearsal (Saturday at 2pm) and end-of-semester concert (Sunday at 6pm) featuring works by leading 20th and 21st century music composers. Additionally, ensemble members will perform original works by Wesleyan undergraduate seminar composers Jace Arouet '21,  Becket Cerny '19, Tracy Cooper '21, Matthew Forker '19, and Harrison Nir '19.
