Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear the season opening concert of the University of Maryland Symphony Orchestra as it plays Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and the world premiere of faculty composer Mark Wilson's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra with faculty soloist Larissa Dedova under the direction of guest conductor Jose-Luis Novo.

We will be pairing this event with our first Discover Ethno/Musicology at Maryland Day. Students interested in applying to Maryland's graduate programs in musicology and ethnomusicology are invited to tour the magnificent Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, sit in on classes, meet faculty, and chat with current graduate students.
