On an early spring day in 1984, an event took place at <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Scranton</strong> that would begin a new era <strong>of</strong> outstanding performance music for<br />
the institution and its students.<br />
May 4 was the date <strong>of</strong> the first World Premiere Composition concert on<br />
campus, the only series <strong>of</strong> its kind in the nation. <strong>The</strong> series has provided<br />
<strong>University</strong> students with opportunities to work and interact with internationally<br />
renowned composers and conductors, and has made significant contributions<br />
to wind and choral repertoires.<br />
Although this year featured the 20 th Annual World Premiere Composition,<br />
there were no plans in 1984 for more than one World Premiere.<br />
