June in Buffalo Festival to Debut in New York City

June in Buffalo, one of America's most ambitious contemporary music festivals, and the premiere festival of emerging composers in North America, will make its debut in New York City in June.

The first Buffalo in New York concert will be held June 13 at the Goethe House Institute for German Culture, 1014 Fifth Avenue. The program will feature the works of UB Professor David Felder, as well as composers Morton Feldman and Gerhard Stabler.

The works will be performed by UB emeritus professor Jan Williams and two UB alumni, Nils Vigeland and Jens Barnieck, and Eberhard Blum, former creative associate of the UB Center for the Creative Arts. Feldman and Williams were former directors of the Center.

Felder, one of the leading American composers of the younger generation, and holder of the Birge-Cary Chair in Composition, is artistic director of June in Buffalo, which was founded by the distinguished American composer Morton Feldman, who died in 1987.

The program is free and open to the public.
