The Music in the Real World Colloquium presents guest artist Fred Onovwerosuoke, known professionally as “Fred O.,” Thursday, April 10, 2025, 8:00 p.m., in Turner Recital Hall. 
 
This is a free event with tickets required for admission. 

The program will feature a new duo for clarinet (Mariam Adam) and marimba (JiHye Jung) by Fred O., a lecture on the background of his “Exotic Dances,” and a world premiere performance of his new work. This project will not only enrich the performing arts by expanding the repertoire for clarinet and percussion, but it will also help encourage women composers working in a historically male dominated field. As two leading classical female performers, our synergy will show the pacesetting the industry needs while contributing to the repertoire as a legacy point.
