The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents 2025 New Music + Technology Festival starting on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 through Friday, April 4, 2025 inside The Cube with all performances starting at 8:00 PM.
The School of Performing Arts and the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology present the New Music + Technology Festival, showcasing the ever-broadening field of music technology, focusing on new compositions and performance systems.
Since its inception in 2021, the New Music + Technology Festival has presented multi- and interdisciplinary performances while furthering research at the nexus of music, theatre, cinema, dance, visual art, creative coding, computer science, neuroscience, molecular biology, robotics, and cyber security.
Thursday will welcome The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker, New Renaissance Artist. Baker embraces a constantly evolving practice, with past works including those that involve new systems of notation and building virtual instruments. Her practice also includes exploration of sonic and visual elements.
Two pieces composed by Baker will make their world premiere — “HOLOGRAM” for bass saxophone and electronics, and “the possibilities before” for speaking string quartet and electronics, performed by Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts faculty members Kyle Hutchins, John Irrera, Molly Wilkens-Reed, Chris Campo-Bowen, and Alan Weinstein.
