This summer, Nina Young, Slee Visiting Professor in the Department of Music, is serving on the composition faculty at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts—one of the most prestigious summer programs for emerging professional musicians in the country.

Professor Young has spent the season mentoring Tanglewood Music Center fellows, guiding their work in both chamber and electronic music. As the summer wraps up, she will oversee several concerts showcasing the fellows' compositions, highlighting the creative collaborations developed during their time together.

Her work at Tanglewood underscores UB’s connection to nationally recognized institutions and gives students a glimpse of the professional paths UB faculty actively engage in.
