PURSUING EXCELLENCE, ENGAGEMENT AND INCLUSIVITY

SEASON

ENGAGEMENT ENTREPRENEURSHIP INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE Located minutes from the nation’s capital, the University of Maryland School of Music offers rigorous, conservatory-level training alongside the resources and opportunities afforded by one of the country’s top public research universities. In creating the next generation of artist-citizens, we are fiercely dedicated to the highest standards of artistic and scholarly excellence; diversity in curriculum and programming; robust engagement with the world around us; entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving; and the creation of an inclusive, open and welcoming community.

favorites, groundbreaking new compositions and thought-provoking lectures presented by students, faculty, alumni and acclaimed guest artists.

David Neely takes the helm of the UMD Symphony Orchestra, leading the ensemble in works ranging from Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony and Holst’s The Planets to more recent ones such as Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral and a new concerto by Valerie Coleman, flutist and founding member of Imani Winds. During the holiday season, the orchestra will team up with the UMD Chamber Singers to bring Handel’s beloved Messiah back to College Park, recalling the university’s proud tradition of presenting Handel oratorios to international acclaim. Handel is also the focus of the Maryland Opera Studio’s fall production of Ariodante, often thought to be one of the composer’s finest operas.

Our Faculty Artist Series showcases the astounding talent and depth of artistry displayed by our exceptional faculty, and on October 6, we pay tribute to Chris Vadala, our longtime director of jazz studies who passed away earlier this year.

Amid efforts by faculty and students to further diversify our programming, this season features more works by female and underrepresented composers. Such efforts reflect our ongoing conversations around how we continue preparing students to face the demands of both a rapidly changing performing arts landscape and the wider world surrounding it. The ensuing pages provide something of an answer, weaving together a rich tapestry that combines the great musical epochs of the past with powerful artistic statements of the present while offering glimpses into a bold and innovative future whose seeds are being sown right here at the University of Maryland School of Music.

This year marks two decades since the establishment of the UMD Chamber Singers. They are celebrating this milestone with a performance of Stravinsky’s Les Noces and a commissioned work by alumna Dale
