Since the early 1970s the School of Music has sponsored nine different concerts at Lincoln Center, a world-renowned performance venue in Manhattan. In 1992, the concert featured five world-premiere performances of compositions commissioned by the School of Music to celebrate the centennial of Ithaca College. Ten years later, the concert celebrated the 80th birthday of Karel Husa, and, in 2005, Carl Orff’s Carmina Buranafilled Avery Fisher Hall.
