This month, the Newtown High School (NHS) Music Department will inaugurate a new tradition by presenting the first ever NHS Composers' Concert, organized by music teacher Chris Lee. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, at 7:00PM in the NHS Cafetorium, and will feature student work from the school's music theory and music technology programs. With projects ranging from classical-style chorales to electronic dance music, the concert will demonstrate the school's composers' abilities to merge technique and structure with personal expression. Some works will be performed by the school's New Music Ensemble, a small group of instrumentalists newly assembled for the occasion. "I'm thrilled," says Mr. Lee, "to be finally offering a public event for our student composers, who impress me every year with their craft and creativity."
