Anna Rubin, composer and associate professor of music at UMBC, presents a concert of her works. The human voice in its singing and speaking inspires Anna Rubin's work. Whether her works are composed for ancient instruments or developed with sophisticated digital software, she tells stories, she protests injustice, and she celebrates the human spirit in dynamic works for solo virtuosi, choral and chamber ensembles, orchestra and fixed media.

Mosaic is an ensemble/collective dedicated to forging an original voice in jazz, directed by Matt Belzer of UMBC's Department of Music. Together they perform an eclectic range of styles to create a music that's unique and experimental yet remains accessible. Expanding on the traditions of post Bop, Afro-Cuba, electric Jazz and the avant-garde, their rhythmic and harmonic approach is deep and diverse. Whether playing their own works, or those of the great composers of Jazz, they aim to provide a music for the body and the mind. With an instrumentation of keyboards, bass, drum set, and a wide array of woodwind instruments and percussion, Mosaic hopes to put their own stamp on the American legacy known as Jazz.

The Department of Music presents the West Point Jazz Knights in concert.
