Dr. Gardner Read, guest composer

Since the inception of the Contemporary Music Festival at Marshall University the Festival has been dedicated to the broadening of perspectives and the deeper understanding of our musical environment. Our objective is to get people involved in Contemporary Music, not only those from Marshall University but also those from surrounding institutions. We are able to welcome students and faculty from the University of Kentucky, Morehead University, W. Va. State College and Morris Harvey College to our campus for the first time. In our thinking, a variety of ideas can be brought forth by these different people and that mutual conclusions can be made on topics presented by this Festival. We hope that the experiences provided will be of such value to all participants that similar Festivals may be planned in the future.
