The following performers will participate via streaming video: Makiko Ito (Amsterdam) dance, Monica Page (Amsterdam) dance, Eileen Standley (Amsterdam) dance, Martin Sonderkamp (Berlin) dance, and Alex Waterman (NYC) cello/image.

This event has been organized by Glen Whitehead (Assistant Professor of Music, Director of Music Program at UCCS) and the UCCS Music Program. Funding has been provided by the President’s Fund for the Humanities Grant from the University of Colorado.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Regular campus parking restrictions will be suspended for Lot 3 during the performance.
