  • The performer. Cellist Craig Hultgren is an activist for new music, the newly creative arts, and the avant-garde. Through his collaborations with living composers, he is changing the way people write for and listen to the instrument. His performances have been broadcast on National Public Radio's Performance Today, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and European radio. Every two years, he produces the Hultgren Solo Cello Works Biennial, a competition for living composers of solo cello works where he plays the same program of finalists in Birmingham, Atlanta and Tuscaloosa. Learn more about Mr. Hultgren here.
  • The performance. Craig Hultgren will be performing all of the compositions on a MusicPad and the scores will be projected and visible during the performance. The MusicPad is a digital video tablet that allows music scores generated from a computer or scanned from sheet music to be viewed and scrolled from page to page with a foot pedal. It alleviates manual page turning and can output its images of the scores for external display. Learn more about the MusicPad here.
