Music graduate alum Ryan Harrison and Instructor of Music Andrew Waggoner will be featured in the Louis Moreau Institute for New Music Performance’s tenth anniversary concert season.

In addition to Harrison and Waggoner’s compositions, the concert will be the world premiere of Single #2: The Mixer, a new work for the Louis Moreau Institute Artists composed by Morris Rosenzweig. Composers Courtney Bryan, Dennis H Miller, Wynton Marsalis and Chris Trapani are also featured in the performance.

Located in New Orleans, The Louis Moreau Institute for New Music Performance aims to elevate forward-leaning New Music to the prominence that opera, rags, jazz and other styles have enjoyed in the city's rich cultural heritage.

Each Year, the Louis Moreau Institute assembles a group of emerging world-class performers — the Louies — to present concerts of new music in New Orleans. Harrison and Waggoner’s work will be performed by Institute Artists Giancarlo Latta, Theodosia Roussos, Amy Tan and Zhihao Wu, accompanied by Assistant Artistic Director Wesley Ducote.
