On Monday, May 5, 2008, NSU's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs awarded Mr. Paul Christopher an Enrichment Fund Professional Development grant for the project entitled: "New Music for Low String Ensemble." Funding of this project provides a commission for a composition by a native Louisiana composer, Thomas H. Hundemer, for NSU's low string studio ensemble.
This new work will be premiered on October 21, 2008, (tentative date) at NSU with a repeat performance on October 23 or 24, 2008, at the Louisiana Music Teacher's Association annual conference meeting at Centenary College in Shreveport. Mr. Christopher undertook this project because of the lack of compositions for this ensemble. In building a low string studio class, this composition fills a void while also promoting NSU's music program in a state-wide venue.
