“Our son’s primary professor can only be described as exemplary; he took a talented but somewhat undisciplined musician and transitioned him into a focused future professional who knows what he wants and is willing to take on the hard work to achieve his goals.”

The Pendulum New Music concert series, now in its 12th season, presents the best of new music with CU faculty and students, and first-class guest artists that have included Ursula Oppens, Bang on a Can All Stars, California Ear Unit, and eighth blackbird. Monthly concerts take place on Wednesdays in Grusin Music Hall, Imig Building, CU campus in Boulder, with special events in the Atlas Blackbox Theater and other venues. Pendulum’s mission is to promote new music and to equip students with the necessary skills and resources for successful collaborations and commissions.
Pendulum takes its name from the Colorado Centennial Foucault Pedulum at CU’s Duane Physical Laboratory. The pendulum iconifies the series’ mission to swing through all aesthetic directions in the music of our time.
