The Digital Diaspora project, supported by the Arts Collaborative Mini Grant program, explores the intersection of AI and live performance through a new piece for the UGA Wind Symphony in collaboration with composer Dr. Marie A. Douglas. Dr. Douglas will speak about her new composition and provide perspectives on music education and performance of new band music. 

The premiere will take place during the UGA Wind Symphony performance at 7:30 PM at the UGA Performing Arts Center. Free with no tickets required.

Marie A. Douglas is an Atlanta-bred composer known for mixing genres and textures in her concert stage pieces. Her music reflects her inner-city upbringing and experiences. Notable for memorable melodies, rhythms, and surprising textures, her compositions are influenced by the African Diaspora and often fuse Hip-Hop with western art music idioms. Marie's works have been performed throughout the US and Canada. She also collaborates with various ensembles, contributes to film music, and recently earned her Doctor of Musical Arts in composition and conducting at the University of Memphis.
