"It will feature three world premieres - compositions by our composition winners. Miami is the only college in the country to have an established yearly composition competition for undergraduate students," Averbach said. This is the second year for the Composition Competition. Miami University Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition Winners Theadora Bowne, senior Music Performance major from Cleveland, will perform the first movement of Haydn's Cello Concerto in D major. Bowne was also a winner of the 2022 Concerto Competition.

Dedicated to the memory of maestro Seiji Ozawa "Maestro Seiji Ozawa, an iconic figure in the world of classical music, left an indelible mark on the orchestral landscape through his unparalleled artistry and dedication to the craft," Averbach said. As a mentor to Averbach at the Tanglewood Music Festival, Ozawa's influence resonates deeply with the musicians of MUSO. A highlight of the concert was a performance of Beethoven's Egmont Overture, "a composition that held a special place in Maestro Ozawa's heart. It was the very piece he conducted at his last concert before his passing, on Nov. 22, 2022, with the Saito Kinen Orchestra. Despite his physical challenges, his passion for music shone through as he conducted from a wheelchair, with the performance broadcast live to Koichi Wakata, an astronaut aboard the International Space Station," Averbach said.
