When I walked into the Slosberg Music Center for the Fall 2019 “Undergraduate Composers’ Collective” concert on Friday night, I did not know what to expect. I knew that the concert was a collaboration between students in the MUS 106A class and the Undergraduate Composers’ Collective and would be co-directed by Aaron Newitt ’21 and Leah Samantha Chanen ’20. The purpose of the concert was to showcase Brandeis students’ original compositions written over the course of this semester, as well as a composition written by Jake Sibley ’19, former president of the UCC, who died by suicide in August.

SNOWFLAKES: The Snow Queen, portrayed by Marissa Small ’21, dances alongside her angels and snowflakes to guide Clara, played by Hannah DeRoche ’19, ’20 MA, to the Land of the Sweets. In an interview with the Justice, Deroche said, “My favorite piece in the production is our adaptation of “Snow,” as it is very unique in the way we use both modern and classical music and pair this juxtaposition of sound with changing shoes from flat to pointe and changing skirts from classical romantic tutus to modern dip dyed skirts.”
