Staff Report

A one-day festival featuring electronic music is coming to the Doudna Fine Arts Center this Thursday.

The 2018 Invitational Mini-Festival is presented in conjunction with Electronic Music Eastern and Electronic Music Midwest. Over 20 composers are coming to Eastern for the mini-festival, which is coordinated by music professor Brad Decker.

The festival will consist of two free concerts, featuring contemporary works by composers from across the Midwest, according to a press release.

These concerts are set for 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Doudna theater.

The press release states that both concerts will highlight the works of musicians who are exploring how computer technology and traditional instruments are being used to create music.

“It’s an immersive musical experience,” said Dan Crews, programming director at the Doudna, in the press release. “Many of these composers will be blending video and surround-sound elements.”

Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.
