UNO Alumni Concert

In celebration of the university’s 50^th Anniversary, the UNO Department of Music is proud to host its first Alumni Concert. We plan to make this an annual event featuring both instrumental and vocal performers who graduated from our Music program. Under the support of the Musical Excursions concert series, two concerts will be presented, one in the Fall and one in the Spring semesters. Please plan to join us to hear excellent UNO alumni perform in our newly renovated Recital Hall. A reception will follow each concert honoring all graduates, and giving us the opportunity to visit with old friends!

MUSAICA

 See photos from this gig.

Founded in 2006 by a group of professional New Orleans musicians, Musaica is an ensemble whose goal is to present a variety of eclectic and entertaining chamber music to the greater New Orleans community. Musaica presents more familiar and accessible works alongside those, which are new or less often performed. In its first two seasons, Musaica presented works by its bass player David Anderson, and compositions by Villa-Lobos, Bax, Bartok, Poulenc, Bernstein, Copland’s Appalachian Spring, and the Schubert Octet.
