Special projects in the past have included working with composers on new pieces, collaborating with choreographers on movement-related works, and performing with a Balinese Gamelan orchestra. Concerts are presented each semester and occasional performances are given off-campus, the most recent being at the Bang On A Can Marathon in New York City.
