Sang Mi Ahn’s Permission to Engage has been accepted for performance at the Symposium on Acoustic Ecology, which will be held at the University of Kent in U.K. on the 8th and 9th of November 2013.
The Symposium on Acoustic Ecology explores themes related to the influence of audio technology on listening patterns and behaviors, neuroscientific theories of perception, as well as soundscapes in scientific, musical, social, and cultural contexts. This year’s keynote speakers include Barry Truax, Katharine Norman and Richard Ranft.
Sang Mi Ahn’s Metro Graffiti has been selected for performance at the 2014 conference of the International Trumpet Guild. It will appear as part of the New Works Recitals at the conference in May, 2014 in Valley Forge, PA.
Sang Mi Ahn won the 2013 Heckscher Foundation – Ithaca College Composition Prize with her piece Convergence. The work will be performed by faculty saxophonist Steven Mauk at the Ithaca College Contemporary Ensemble concert on April 10, 2014.
Convergence was written in collaboration with Heidi Radtke Siberz (Doctoral Student in Saxophone) and dedicated to her. The work has also been performed in various venues including the 2013 International Computer Music Conference and the 2012 North American Saxophone Alliance Biennial Conference.
