Romig, who joined the PSU faculty this year, has had his works performed throughout the U.S. and Europe in recitals, music festivals and as accompaniment to dance. His compositions for large ensembles, chamber groups and soloists include commissions from the Interlochen Arts Academy, the Percussive Arts Society, Suono Mobile, and numerous others. Romig serves as principal conductor of the Society for Chromatic Art, a contemporary-music ensemble in New York City. The festival is organized to include both a lecture or masterclass and a recital each day. An additional guest artist recital is scheduled for March 13.
All events are free and open to the public.
The lectures and masterclasses will be held in Room 318 of McCray Hall and will last approximately 50 minutes. All of the recitals will be held in the McCray Recital Hall. A short talk will precede the concert. At 1 p.m., McMurtery will perform in a guest artist recital dedicated to unaccompanied flute. The guest artist recital will conclude at 2 p.m.
