Also featured will be Aaron Copland's iconic "Appalachian Spring" in its version for full orchestra.
"It is a thrill and an honor for me to be joining the Caine College of the Arts faculty," Wachs says. He comes to Logan from Vienna, Austria. "There is so much talent between my faculty colleagues and our incredible students that I was inspired to find a way to present both. This all-American program of 20th-century composers also allows me to honor educators, including two of my own, Otto-Werner Mueller and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon."

This annual music therapy concert aims to highlight the multi-faceted sources of inspiration for USU music therapy students both personally and professionally.

During MUSES, we get to shift our focus to also celebrate our external musical skills and instruments as extensions of ourselves, and the tools by which we get to share creative self-expression with the world. Concert goers will enjoy original compositions in addition to contemporary and classical pieces that have been intentionally chosen to represent the experiences of our students and potential clinical applications of these works in music therapy practice. Additionally, attendees may have the opportunity to get involved first-hand with our interactive lobby experience before the performance. For more information, visit www.usumtsa.weebly.com.
