Stephanie Hing, Kate Perkins, and Whitney Ross have been dancing together since age four. They trained together throughout childhood in a pre-collegiate contemporary dance program, and each went on to study dance in college. In 2021 the group reconnected, traveling to Santa Barbara to present a new work at the Re:Emerge Dance Festival. Steph, Kate, and Whit are excited to be creating and dancing together again for this 28/78 concert.
28/78 NEW MUSIC ENSEMBLE
28/78 New Music Ensemble is a student-run performing ensemble at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. The ensemble focuses on the performance of contemporary music works from a diverse array of composers. 28/78 was formed in March 2018 by conductor and founder Andrew Lu (’19). The goals of 28/78 are to:
1. Provide a valuable supplement to ensemble members’ musical education
2. Become ambassadors of the Conservatory’s contemporary music scene
3. Encourage the listening to and performance of new music in the Conservatory and greater Stockton communities
4. Commission and promote the performance of works by a diverse range of composers.
The ensemble works to achieve its goals by hosting the 28/78 New Music Festival, presenting collaborative concerts, bringing guest artists and speakers to campus, and sharing the elements of contemporary music with the Pacific community through Open 78 workshops.
