6:00 p.m. UT School of Music (LINK): The 24-Hour Composition Challenge Concert
This concert is the finale to the SCOUT-sponsored, 24-hour composition challenge! In this challenge, composers worked to write for a randomly selected set of players for the ensemble sizes they chose. After 24 hours, the composers gave their completed work to the performers to rehearse and play on this concert. Come join us as we watch the hard work put into such a short time! Donations will go to the Student Composer Organization at UT. For Composers and Performers interested in this event, go to tiny.utk.edu/24hcc to sign up!
