The Pendulum concert series, now in its seventh season, presents the best of new music with CU faculty and students, and first-class guest artists that have included Ursula Oppens, Bang on a Can All Stars, and California Ear Unit.  Directed by pianist Hsing-ay Hsu, Pendulum's mission is to promote new music and to equip students with the necessary skills and resources for successful collaborations and commissions.  Pendulum takes its name from the Colorado Centennial Foucault Pedulum at CU’s Duane Physical Laboratory.  The pendulum iconifies the series’ mission to swing through all aesthetic directions in the music of our time.
