BGSU composition students will present their new works, performed by fellow music students. This event is free and open to the public.LIVESTREAM LINKPROGRAMphytosynthesis (2025) - Dean Kyle (2002) Shannon Lotti - flute, plant, electronicsProgram note: phytosynthesis began as a botanical duo exploring what happens when a musician shares a performative musical space with a plant. As it grew, the plant raised an important point about honoring the needs and voices of fellow living beings. A human, with care and collaborative spirit, might engage with them to create something greater than either individual could alone. There is music in all manner of things; a plant is no exception.Ghost in my Brain (2025) - Noah Simon (1998) Noah Simon - Guitar and VoiceProgram Note: My brain is filled with ghosts, and here's one of them. Enjoy! "Ghost in my brain Ghost in my brain Caught in the rain Looming below Shadows aglow Moon under snow Where did I go? Ghost in my brain Ghost in my brain Caught in the rain"an horn he bar…(a horn he bares…) (2025) – Eleanor Margraf (2006) Brayden Adamisin – AlphornProgram Note: This piece, for me, was an investigation and experimentation into such a unique instrument in a context often not heard by the average listener. While keeping with tradition, the piece bends it and melds tradition with new music.Shreik! (2024) – Sarah Hertenstein (2005) Ryan Moore – Bb ClarinetProgram Note: Shriek! is a clarinet solo that aims to explore the rhythmic capabilities of the clarinet. Its title derives from the idea that after each rhythmic phrase the clarinet ends abruptly jumping out of the page when it re-enters once again. Yet there is a break from the rhythmic bounciness within a calm melodic feature, only to once again lead right back to the familiar energetic tune.Ascension (2025) – Christian Glascock (2000) Flute quartet: Ashley Busch, Kiersten Swihart, Eliseo Hernandez, Gloria PanProgram Note: Ascension is a piece that explores the contrast between angels and fallen angels, focusing on the redemptive journey from darkness to light. The music begins with sinister, turbulent motifs reflecting the turmoil of fallen angels, and gradually transforms into soaring, radiant harmonies that symbolize redemption and transcendence. As I composed Ascension, I connected this transformation not only to mythological themes, but also to deeply human experiences—rising after failure, seeking forgiveness, and finding grace through grief. The music mirrors that emotional arc: from despair to hope, from brokenness to beauty.-INTERMISSION-eye ⟂ outside ⟂ eye ⟟ 𒅆𒇽𒅆 (2025) – Ömer Kurtuluş (1990) Ömer Kurtuluş — voice & interactive electronicsProgram Note: A live dialogue with AI. Pre-composed sounds of double bass and voice are segmented into a corpus that the system reanimates in performance, triggered by the composer’s live reading of the Code of Hammurabi (c. 1750 BCE). Rather than reconstructing the past, the work lets it resonate in the present—renewed at each performance.Four Instruments (2025) – Lukas James Bass (2003) Saxophone QuartetTears (2025) – Dominic Gomez (2006)Program Note: A piece written with the text of Walt Whitman. My interpretation of “Tears” is he is writing about the many implications and reasons to cry. That it can be a bad thing, a good thing, or something neither bad nor good. "TEARS! tears! tears! In the night, in solitude, tears, On the white shore dripping, dripping, suck'd in by the sand, Tears, not a star shining, all dark and desolate, Moist tears from the eyes of a muffled head; O who is that ghost? that form in the dark, with tears? What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch'd there on the sand? Streaming tears, sobbing tears, throes, choked with wild cries; O storm, embodied, rising, careering with swift steps along the beach! O wild and dismal night storm, with wind—O belching and des- perate! O shade so sedate and decorous by day, with calm countenance and regulated pace, But away at night as you fly, none looking—O then the unloosen'd ocean, Of tears! tears! tears! (1866) Walt WhitmanUncle Gumbus 2 (2025) – Orson Abram Sandra Barrick, Edward Tilton Jr. – Voicemails Orson Abram – Electric Guitar and ObjectsProgram Note: A piece about the voicemails my uncle left me after he found out about Gumbusness.

Are you interested in stargazing and looking at celestial objects through telescopes? Come check out the Department of Physics & Astronomy rooftop observatory during public stargazing sessions. The rooftop observatory includes a 0.5-meter research grade telescope as well as smaller “amateur astronomer” telescopes, which you will be able to look through. You will also learn how to find major constellations and any planets currently visible.Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargaze session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone though since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargaze cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time you may receive an incorrect message.When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.
