Ithaca College

What do music students in the 21st century require, and how does this compare to what we have done in the past? What is diversity in music, and how do we respectfully engage the music of other cultures? 

What is the music of the future? And finally, that age-old question: what DO music students do for a living after they graduate?

Join Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize winning “Roomful of Teeth” as we explore, both in concert and workshop settings, these and many other questions about music in our time. Roomful of Teeth is an eight-voice ensemble that is dedicated to mining the expressive potential of the human voice and focused on continually expanding its repertoire to include singing techniques from around the world.

The group will perform for the School of Music Convocation on Tuesday, August 23 at 8:15 PM (ticketed event), and will hold five on-campus workshops on Wednesday, August 24. The workshops are not ticketed and are open to walk-ins. Workshop details can be found on the Ithaca College events calendar. Admission to all Roomful of Teeth events is free and open to the public. School of Music students and faculty can pick up their concert tickets in the music office, while the Ithaca College community and general public can submit a reservation request to roomfulofteeth@ithaca.edu. Please reference the individual events on the Events Calendar for more detailed ticketing information.

Ithaca College began, in 1892, as a quintessential European conservatory during a remarkable period of musical innovation and growth in the United States. Ithaca Conservatory, as it was then known, grew rapidly in the 1960’s to emerge as an indisputable national leader in the field of K-12 music education, with robust programs in sound recording, performance, composition. Now, the Ithaca College School of Music hopes to engage in a new period of innovation, one that combines multiple musical traditions with cutting edge technologies to serve a diverse community of music lovers and professionals – a community more rich and broad than any in our history.
