7:30 pm

Emma Eccles Jones Recital Hall, Florence J. Gillmor Hall

Celebrating its third year commissioning a new work by an emerging composer of color, Hear & Now seeks to build greater understanding and empathy by widening the repertoire that has been generationally limited in classical music spheres. The prize includes a commissioning fee, a professional recording of their new work, travel, and housing costs in Salt Lake City and time to work with students and speak with audiences at the world premiere. This year, Droki Ouro (https://www.drokiouro.com/) has been selected and commissioned to share original compositions for solo piano or solo piano + electronics.
