From Jacksonville, Florida the UNF NuMIX ensemble will perform Joshua Tomlinson's Trial By Fire at the CBDNA Southern Division Conference in Columbia, South Carolina this Friday. The broad dynamic three movement work was composed by Joshua Tomlinson for wind symphony and live electronics, and this performance will debut a simplified score for the smaller ensemble. Dr. Tomlinson traveled to South Carolina with the ensemble to perform the integrated electronics.
