By Madison Thompson–
The New Music Festival is an annual week-long event hosted by the School of Music designed to spread awareness of living composers.
Each year, the faculty come together and discuss who should be the featured composer. This process can be lengthy, but many factors are considered when selecting a featured composer.
“We try and strike a balance between all of the different disciplines,” Ritz said. This process can be taxing for both the faculty and whoever is selected to be the guest composer.
