MU – a virtual microtonal university

On September 3, 2021 the American Festival of Microtonal Music (AFMM) presented a

new project: Microtonal University (MU) through the Internet.

MU Faculty members are virtuoso instrumentalists, & both composers & improvisers.

Meredith Borden (voice/interstylistic)

Jon Catler (guitar/rock)
Philipp Gerschlauer (sax/jazz)
Johnny Reinhard (bassoon/classical) – Director of MU
Manfred Stahnke (composition)
Michael Vick (multi-instrumental/technology)

Using various platforms, MU will make available a host of different sessions, instructions,
entertainment, connections, all while connected to a worldwide social destination of
microtonalists and those with a microtonal sensibility.
Please retain your MU GUIDE for Season 3 of Microtonal University so that you always
have the schedule and Zoom links available for future MU sessions that capture your
interest, as well as the start time measured from New York City (NYC). The MU Guide
links are only for your own personal purposes and are not to be shared. We want to
know who is joining live to keep the safe community feeling.
Only MU subscribers will continue to receive MU NEWS with its announcements and
changes to the program schedule, and WeTransfer download links.
Zoom links are sacrosanct, however, and will always have something exciting taking
place on Sundays at the anointed time(s).
As previously stated, all MU sessions are calculated to New York City time, including
changes in Daylight Savings Time. Please adjust accordingly as such changes occur.
