[NewMusic] Perform music by Roscoe Mitchell?

[Steed Cowart]

Hello Phillip,

You're very welcome to come join us. What I ask is that you can commit
to the rehearsals and performance. The first meeting will be on Friday,
Sept. 7 at 3:00pm in Lisser Hall.

I'm not yet sure exactly what the ensemble will be. It looks to be 10-12
performers. Roscoe said he would adapt a piece to fit whatever we have.

Regards,

Steed
