This September, OUT Ensemble hosts a fundraising event with the Northside Community Church’s Concerts4aCause series to raise funds for upcoming commissions by recent University of Michigan graduates. The two new works will be featured alongside Samuel Barber’s Summer Music and Jennifer Higdon’s Autumn Music on OUT’s first album, debuting in late 2026. In addition to a performance including these two works, the composers of the upcoming works will share the inspiration behind the new pieces.
