Join us for the 44th Annual JMU Contemporary Music Festival featuring music from guest Vietnamese-American composer, Viet Cuong. Described as “alluring” and “stirring” by The New York Times, “arresting” (Gramophone), “irresistible” (San Francisco Chronicle), and “exhilarating” (Chicago Tribune) Cuong’s music has been commissioned and performed on six continents by musicians and ensembles. Cuong has also been featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert and has worked closely with GRAMMY-winning orchestras and chamber ensembles around the world. The Festival features JMU’s Madison Singers at 2 pm, the Chamber Orchestra at 4 pm, and the Wind Symphony and Symphony Orchestra at 7 pm. Tickets may be purchased individually per performance or as a series ticket.
