Third Practice, presented by the Department of Music and the Modlin Center for the Arts is an annual festival of new electro-acoustic music and works for mixed media. Its inaugural season will present works for instruments and computer, video, live remixing and multi-channel works for tape. This year's festival will feature works of composer Evan Chambers and will present pieces by composers from around the country including Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Virginia. For more information contact Benjamin Broening.


The terms Prima and Secunda Pratica first arose during the famed controversy between Claudio Monteverdi and Giovanni Artusi in the first decade of the 17th century. Monteverdi's 'Second Practice', first mentioned in a letter dated 1603, involved new approaches toward dissonance and melodic construction in the music of the day. So, in naming our festival 'Third Practice', we recognize the use of technology to be a new and expressive way of creating music in our time.
