This is an environment that encourages individual creative work and collaborative projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of a top-tier Music school in a major University, students have an expanse of opportunities including participating in Time\u2019s Arrow, the new music ensemble, as both composer and performer, as well as collaborating with the College\u2019s theatre and visual arts programs, such as in dramatic productions and installations. Boston’s vibrant music community offers countless possibilities to work with ensembles as well as in Lenox at Boston University Tanglewood Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Associate Professor, Music<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Associate Professor of Music, Composition and Music Theory<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n Associate Professor of Music, Music Theory; Director of Graduate Studies, School of Music<\/p>\t<\/a>\n\n\t\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Associate Professor of Music in Composition and Music Theory\u00a0Ketty Nez\u00a0had the experience of a lifetime teaching contemporary orchestration and musical analysis to advanced composers at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary.
