24 Hour Concert

TBA Spring 2012

Once per semester at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, brand new music is composed, rehearsed, and performed over the course of 24 hours - the 24 Hour Concert. In preparation for the event, composers recruit volunteer performance majors. On the Friday night of the event, the names of these performers are drawn randomly from a hat to form an ensemble for each composer. From 8pm Friday to the following Saturday at 8am, the composers write brand new pieces of music. Over the next 12 hours, the ensembles prepare them. At 8pm on Saturday, the performance begins. This will be Stephen's 6th time organizing the event, which will be scheduled soon.
