Denison University’s Department of Music collaborates with musicians, composers, fine artists, dance artists, theatre, and creative people across genres to present the TUTTI New Arts Festival every two years. This week-long festival celebrates new music and art, bringing artists from across the country and across disciplines to Denison for a week of events, collaborations, and concerts.
This year’s festival features a multitude of concerts by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Raven Chacon, modern music collective Wild Up, cello quartet UCelli, Denison’s Ensemble-in-Residence ETHEL, and many other artists. The event culminates in a Vail Series concert with featured ensemble Wild Up in Swasey Chapel on March 23 at 7:00 p.m.
“TUTTI” is a musical term, taken from the Italian for “all together,” representing the unusual depth and breadth of the artistic offerings of this event, which takes two years to organize.
