—Statement—
Living Music is a student-run organization dedicated to the performance, composition, appreciation, and dissemination of new music on the University Park campus and throughout the State College community.
—Purpose—
Our goals are to facilitate dialogue, encourage collaboration, perform new music, and build stronger relationships among musicians and the entire Penn State community. The organization is open to all PSU students including, but not limited to composers, performers, educators, (ethno)musicologists, theorists, and anyone interested in contemporary music.
—Radio Show—
Living Music, featured on Penn State’s Radio Station, WKPS 90.7 – The Lion, occurs biweekly Thursdays at 8 PM. Tune in to hear music by living composers, interviews with artists and musicians, and discussion about creative arts. “Living Music” is produced by a rotating group of composers, and musicians in our organization. You will hear the unique interests and perspectives of Penn State students, faculty, and other guests. Our program includes a dynamic and diverse representation of the creative arts.
