Description

The Bloomington Ukulele Club is a place where Bloomington residents can play the ukulele and continue to develop ukulele skills. All skill levels are welcome, but in order to get the most out of a meeting, it's best to be comfortable with an array of basic chords. Ukulele lessons are not provided at club meetings.

The Indiana University New Music Ensemble dedicates its efforts to performing a broad spectrum of contemporary music, focusing on works from the past thirty years, but also presenting significant works from earlier in the 20th century. Along with solo, chamber, and large ensemble works by composers from around the world, a typical concert includes music by a guest composer and a work by a member of the Indiana University Composition Department, the latter of which is recorded soon after the concert.
