Rosenboom will draw from his repertoire of improvisation exercises, graphic scores, text scores, modular pattern structures, and other materials that emerge as appropriate for the interests and backgrounds of the participants. Featured participants: David Rosenboom (George A. Miller Visiting Professor) Jason Finkelman (Teaching artist of the School of Music; Coordinator, Robert E. Brown Center for World Music) Date and Time: Oct. 9, 3 – 5 pm Place: Smith Memorial Hall, r. 025 Smith Memorial Hall (Jazz Trombone Studio) 805 S Mathews Ave, Urbana, IL,61801 (photos feature Light II concert at York University in 1974)
