Phi Mu Alpha American Music Recital

Description

Phi Mu Alpha's annual American Music Recital features young American composer Luke Blackburn in a "virtual" recital.  The audience may participate by Zoom if unable to attend in person. 

Blackburn's compositions often reflect his profound interest in the natural world in a genre of composition sometimes known as "ecomusic."  The composer will give a brief history of "ecomusic" before presenting several of his compositions. 

As a high school student from Brevard, NC, Blackburn studied bassoon with Dr. Will Peebles, then earned his bachelor's degree in music from the University of Florida, and is now completing a doctorate in Composition at Brandeis University.  He has had several commissions for chamber music and orchestral compositions.
