The Slee Sinfonietta, UB’s professional chamber orchestra in residence, will continue its mission of supporting the work of students in UB’s PhD program in composition with a concert of work by four students composed for the Sinfonietta.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 11 in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus.

Tickets are $10. Advance tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, at the Center for the Arts box office from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and at the Slee Hall box office an hour before the concert. UB students are entitled to one complimentary ticket — to this and all UB music department concerts — and may pick up their ticket right before the concert.

The program:

• James Falzone’s dissertation composition, “Ricercar in Sixth-tone Harmony,” features three specially tuned pianos, along with an ensemble of strings and woodwinds.
• Brian Patrick Caswell’s “Arrow Through the Window” pairs two semi-independent quartets, driven by percussion writing inspired by post-bop jazz.
• Thomas Little’s “Two Visions of the Prophet Ezekiel.”
• Will Brobston’s “Sojourn.”

Conducting will be Matthew Chamberlain, a graduate of the Department of Music’s doctoral composition program.

The Slee Sinfonietta is supported by UB’s Robert & Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music. Cellist Jonathan Golove, associate professor of music, serves as the Sinfonietta’s artistic director.
