Taking inspiration from the creative process of Florencia Pita, this year’s SMTD@UMMA concert series closes with an evening of new works ranging from live electronics to experimental theater, all generated from an initiating cell or idea. UM Associate Professor of Music Adam Unsworth performs Kevin Ernste’s Nisi for horn and live electronics. Local soprano Jennifer Goltz premieres a new piece by University of Indianapolis Professor (and UM alumnus) John Berners, in which a single line of text is sung, fragmented, breathed, spoken, explored, and shouted. Local ensemble Latitude 49, made up of UM graduate students, perform new compositions influenced in part by minimalism. Multimedia artist Carlos Garcia joins Goltz to premiere a new work for voices and electronics that forms itself in real time.

The SMTD@UMMA performance series is made possible in part by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning.
