    This fall, the Lawrence University New Music Ensemble (LuNuMu) honors the 60th anniversary of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a groundbreaking collective that has reshaped the landscape of experimental music since its founding in Chicago in 1965. From its earliest days, the AACM has been dedicated to nurturing innovation, artistic freedom, and community. Its members--visionary composers and performers such as Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, and many others--have pushed the boundaries of jazz, classical, and improvised music, creating a legacy that continues to influence artists around the world. The AACM has championed African American creativity, built platforms for underrepresented voices, and redefined what it means to make new music in the spirit of collaboration and exploration. LuNuMu will celebrate this remarkable legacy with performances of works by AACM composers, highlighting the creativity, imagination, and fearless spirit that has sustained the organization for six decades. Join us for an evening of bold sound, discovery, and tribute to one of the most influential forces in contemporary music. Price: Free
