Telharmonium was formed in the fall of 2010 and wants to establish electro-acoustic composition as a legitimate artistic medium in the School of Music, according to the group's website. Electro-acoustic music is a medium that combines musical instruments and electronic sounds. The use of electronic sounds, such as recorded human voice and natural sounds, allows the composer to manipulate the recorded or generated sound to create a more dynamic piece. "In classical music, in more of an avant-garde setting, some composers started using electronic elements back around the mid-20th century," said Nick Curry, a senior from Shawnee and president of Telharmonium. Telharmonium is the name of one of the first electronic musical instruments. The group plans to host the concert of a string quartet that will play the piece "Different Trains" by American composer Steve Reich. Reich won a Grammy award for the piece in 1990. Members of the quartet include Curry, playing first violin; Brian Miller, a senior from Shawnee, on second violin; Erica Brooks, a sophomore from Overland Park, playing viola; and Karah Beeves, a sophomore from Basehor, on cello. "It is interesting to play an electronic recording because I've never done something like that." Beeves said. "The piece is very challenging because of the changing meters throughout." The piece is composed of three movements: America — Before the War, Europe — During the War, and After the War. It features a string quartet and recorded speech, which acts as the melody. The recorded speech is that of Reich's governess, a private teacher and nanny, and three Holocaust survivors, and is about their experiences in Europe the years before, during and immediately after World War II. Electro-acoustic music has a great repertoire with many songs that Telharmonium wants to play, said Curry.
