    • Brand New Music / New Music Brandeis

    Brand New Music is a contemporary music concert series that showcases the work of Brandeis student, faculty, and alumni composers, including current Brandeis composition faculty members Yu-Hui Chang, Eric Chasalow, Erin Gee and David Rakowski. 

    It encompasses New Music Brandeis (NMB), which is programmed and managed by current Brandeis graduate student composers and features professional concerts of student works. It also includes the Undergraduate Composers’ Collective (UCC), which exclusively presents new work by undergraduates, performed by students and special guest artists.
