"The Oklahoma Composers Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting new music in Oklahoma, presents its third annual Future of Music Symposium this July. The free, day long event will take place on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Sonder Music, Dance & Art (225 E Gray St, Norman, OK). The annual symposium focuses attention on how technology, globalization and the economy are influencing the way music is created, distributed, valued and experienced. Kerry Folsom, a doctoral candidate in music composition at the University of Oklahoma, spearheaded the idea for the symposium in 2010. “The purpose of the event is to create an open discussion for composers and musicians about the future,” Kerry says. “A lot is changing in the world of music and we want to bring that into focus.”"This year’s symposium includes a welcome reception, three presentations, a round table discussion, and a concert. Dr. Konstantinos Karathanasis, a faculty member in Composition at the University of Oklahoma, will present about the future of electroacoustic music. Sabrina Peña Young, a self-described “Intermedia composer, percussionist, and obsessive sci-fi buff,” will discuss how technology is affecting modern composition. Folsom is also presenting this year for the first time. He plans to focus on Native American music tradition in the new millennium. All three presenters will have works performed on the concert, which begins at 5:30 p.m.
