Welcome to the webpage of The Ohio State University School of Music Contemporary Music Festival. The festival is presented in collaboration with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. This year's featured composer is Osvaldo Golijov, widely regarded as one of the most innovative and productive composers of his generation.

We invite you to tour our website, which will give a more detailed overview of what is taking place at the Festival. And we cordially invite you to attend our concerts both on campus in Weigel Auditorium and downtown Columbus at the Ohio Theatre. If you do, you will be able to hear some of the most exciting music being written today, expertly performed by soloists and ensembles that are committed to championing the cause of new music.
