Performers for the concert include: Barbara Lister-Sink, Timothy Olsen, Kristin Schwecke, Samuel Taylor, Patrick Schell, Jonathan Blake Borton, Amy Zigler and members of the Winnfield Quartet.

“The School of Music began presenting an annual concert featuring contemporary classical music in 2016. This quickly became an annual tradition, but it was put on hold in the spring of 2020 with the shift to online learning during the early months of the pandemic,” said Amy E.
