UM Digital Music Ensemble presents In Memoriam... Kit Carson (1963), a non-linear opera by ONCE founder Robert Ashley. DME\&##39;s director, Professor Stephen Rush, premieres a short opera on Ulysses Grant, rich with electronics and Civil War songs. According to Rush, “There is great freedom not thinking the only way to present ideas to performers is through the traditional \&##39;dots-on-a-page\&##39; technique. Fluxus reinterprets performance as possibility and the celebration of the ordinary in contradistinction to the exceptional.”
