This third and final part of the marathon commenced with musical hosts JACK Quartet performing works by another college classmate, Matt Barnson, and by Ensemble 21's Jason Eckardt. The New York-based group Imani Winds opened their set with a piece by their very own flautist, Valerie Coleman, and rounded out their performance with excerpts from DBR's Five Chairs and One Table. The high octane Dither Electric Guitar Quartet attacked an innovative quintet of works and the NOW Ensemble completed the 12-hour marathon of New Music with works off their most recent record Awake.
