Some of Denver’s Most Challenging Music Finds a New Audience at DU

By Tom Murphy

This edition of Concrete Mixer found a rare showing and audience at Newman Center for the Performing Arts for the Convocation for the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. Past editions of this event featuring live musique concrète have been held at The Walnut Room because of the superb sound quality of that room. The Newman Center, designed for various kinds of performance, measured up as well. The audience was mostly students though the show was free and open to the general public. DU is certainly no stranger to experimental music on campus, but it is certainly rare for this sort of performance to happen at a university in general.
