The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech and the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology presents the 9th Consecutive New Music + Technology Festival starting on Monday, September 29, 2025 through Thursday, October 2, 2025 with all performances from Tuesday through Thursday inside The Cube starting at 8:00 PM.
The New Music + Technology Festival, showcasing the ever-broadening field of music technology, focusing on new compositions and performance systems. Since its inception in 2021, the New Music + Technology Festival has presented multi- and interdisciplinary performances while furthering research at the nexus of music, theatre, cinema, dance, visual art, creative coding, computer science, neuroscience, molecular biology, robotics, and cyber security.
The festival features a series of new compositions from students, faculty, and friends of the festival that will be performed in the Cube at the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech and the Creativity and Innovation District living-learning community.
On Tuesday, enjoy a concert from Beyond This Point. Beyond This Point is an exploratory collaboration seeking to investigate resonances and intersections across several practices including theater, movement, media/film, non-traditional musical forms, sculpture, text, and installations both static and performative. The collaboration aims to engage diverse audiences on multiple levels through its exploration of resonances between artistic mediums with a goal of developing a platform in which to create works that are intrinsically coalesced along these resonances from their point of inception.
The trio is comprised of Chicago-based percussionists John Corkill, Adam Rosenblatt, and Rebecca McDaniel.
"This trio performs with an immense theatricality," Kyle Hutchins, assistant Virginia Tech professor of practice and curator of the festival said. "Think Ikea lamps and motion tracking, a hammer and knife duo. They are expanding what we think of as percussion."
All performances in the Cube are free, but advance registration is required, with rush tickets available at the door.
