CONTEMPO: Tomorrow's Music Today II

By all means, get thee to Tomorrow’s Music Today I with eighth blackbird on May 9th. The reason Part Deux made it on this list, however, is that 1) the Pacifica Quartet is a Chicago treasure, even if they are primarily based in Indiana these days, and 2) the three student composers represented are doing phenomenal work. Andrew McManus, Jae-Goo Lee and Tomas Gueglio are all names to keep an eye out for, and kudos to CONTEMPO for serving up a free concert showcasing up-and-coming talent on its venerable series.
