Creative Exchange is a collective ensemble for students interested in exploring contemporary repertoire, workshopping student compositions, and playing improvised or open score pieces.

Featuring workshops led by professional musicians, as well as guest performers alongside student led rehearsals, Creative Exchange is an opportunity for students to try new ideas and broaden their musical horizons.

Recent projects have included collaborating with BEAST on the UK premiere of A New Ocean by Christopher Fox, and student compositions for open instrumentation, loop pedal, and single-use plastic. Performances during the Summer Festival of Music remain a highlight of the year.
