MIT Music and Theatre Arts commissioned multiple Grammy nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur fellow Miguel Zenón to write a piece for the MIT Wind Ensemble. Jazz composer and saxophonist Zenón found inspiration in the socially conscious work of the student performers. The creative collaboration culminated in four movements entitled: Properties, Humanity, Syntax and Service. The title of the piece “Music as Service” encapsulates the experience for the performers of this brand new composition.
