10th Annual Research on Contemporary Composition Conference
hosted by
The University of North Georgia, Department of Music

The Research on Contemporary Composition (ROCC) is a conference dedicated to the recent activity of composers. In its eight years, it has featured the performances of 300+ new works (with more than 35 world premieres) representing composers worldwide. The conference was initiated by Dr. Esther Morgan-Ellis and Dr. David Peoples as an opportunity to present research on recent compositional activity. Music department faculty and students are a vital component of ROCC, featuring and bringing to light the works of many living composers through performance and academic research. We are pleased to combine these performances and scholarly activities into our yearly conference.
