This year’s SMTD@UMMA Installation Concert explores the way we talk about music and art, anchored by seven terms common to both: tone, line, texture, color, volume, contrast, and shape. Guided by UM composition faculty Kristin Kuster, STMD graduate composition students imaginatively develop new works on each of these terms, which are premiered by student ensembles in spaces throughout the Museum. UMMA student docents provide suggestions about works on view that these terms call to mind.

The SMTD@UMMA performance series is made possible in part by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.
