Alarm Will Sound—praised by The New York Times as “one of the most vital and original ensembles on the American music scene”—returns to Princeton University for an evening dedicated to new works by Princeton graduate student composers. This collaboration between AWS and the Princeton Sound Kitchen highlights the next generation of bold musical voices, offering a rare opportunity to hear major new pieces performed by one of today’s leading ensembles for contemporary music.

The program features world premieres by:

• Francisco del Pino

• Kennedy Taylor Dixon

• Devin Greenwood

• William Healy

• Travis Laplante

• Lucy McKnight

• Isaac Santos

• Nathan Schram

• Onche Rajesh Ugbabe

From intimate explorations of instrumental color to boundary-pushing experiments in rhythm, harmony, electronics, and narrative, these works reflect the breadth of creative practice within Princeton’s graduate composition program. Alarm Will Sound’s deep commitment to collaboration and innovation makes them an ideal partner for bringing these premieres to life.

Join us for an evening celebrating emerging voices, new ideas, and the future of contemporary music.
