...onstage at the Marcus Center this spring is Unruly Music, the semiannual music festival for cutting-edge, contemporary performances. The three concerts, March 8-10, feature unconventional electronic percussion, a tribute to John Cage on his 100th birthday, and the return of Dal Niente, who performed in last fall’s festival and will be premiering new piece The Brightest Form of Absence for the first time in the U.S.

Better still, Unruly Music is only one of the many groups/performances under the umbrella of UWM’s Peck School of the Arts, which also envelops the Fine Arts Quartet — now with new cellist Robert Cohen — and Chamber Music Milwaukee, the latter of which will perform with the American Brass Quintet March 29.
