Great Music of Underrepresented Composers

This recital aims to pay tribute to composers who have been highly underrepresented in the classical music world.

Here’s what some of the performers have to say:

“There is an entire world of new, relatively unexplored, exciting ideas…every bit as passionate as Brahms, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky.” – Bryce Martin (freshman)

“Everybody has something to say. Playing the music of these composers gives us the opportunity to hear something we’ve never heard before.” – Josefina Guzman (junior)

“It is important to perform music that is portraying the contemporary ideals and values of the day.” – Yu Ray Chu (sophomore)

“This is important for the pursuit of improvement, advancement, and community.” – Lambert Hsieh (DM student)
