Enjoy a Night of Emerging Musical Talent
The Year End Showcase Concert Series presents students who are preparing to graduate from the Contemporary Music & Technology Program. A blend of original and cover songs from a variety of genres, students perform with peers in a series of shows that are open to the entire community.
Admission is by donation with doors opening at 7 pm. Each student performs a 30-minute set that begins at 7:30 pm.
