Come enjoy a series of listening sessions presented by members of the UML music faculty, in which they will introduce and play specific musical works and performances that they have found to be influential. Additionally, presenters will foster group conversation and debate about the pieces they play, so be ready to discuss and reflect on what you hear.
Plug in a good pair of headphones or speakers, and come experience music that could make you consider music, art, and the world in a new way.
