DENTON (UNT), Texas – The University of North Texas College of Music presents a spring season that features world-class guest composers, the American leg of the International Janáček Festival and Conference and a fresh, new take on gospel. Please include the following information in any briefs or calendars.

A recital of the chamber music of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Yehudi Wyner begins a series of concerts of music by outstanding guest composers and arrangers, which will include the multimedia works of composer and pianist Jaroslaw Kapuscinski on Feb. 25, Baylor professor of composition Scott McAllister and alumnus Kevin Walczyk on April 11 and the highly-anticipated world premiere of Jake Heggie’s Ahab Symphony on April 24. Gospel Meets Jazz: A Black History Celebration will showcase guest artist Claus Raible’s original arrangements as performed by the Brad Leali Jazz Orchestra on Feb. 17.

The International Janáček Festival and Conference includes a number of concerts of Czech music by guest artists from the Czech Republic as well as UNT performers. The conference will conclude with UNT Opera’s U.S. premiere of the semi-staged, fully orchestrated version of Janáček’s song cycle Zápisník zmizelého (“The Diary of One Who Disappeared”).
