February - Valentine's Day Candy Gram!

For Valentine's Day, students can sign up to commission a candy-gram, anonymous or not! We take your suggestions (favorite words, funny memories, etc.) and send a quick 30-60 second song to the special someone in your life.

Fall and Spring Concerts

For this event, any Brown student can send in a composition that they would like to have performed, based on a concert theme! We will find musicians to perform your piece, and organize rehearsals in the weeks leading up to the event. Past compositions have ranged from voice/piano songs to a sextet for winds and strings.

Past Themes: Places@Brown (Spring 2026), Journey through the Library (Fall 2025),

April/October - Fermata 24

Fermata's signature event is our 24-hour Composition Festival:

Composers write music from Friday 7 PM to Saturday 7 AM, for assigned instrumentalists / vocalists
Performers rehearse the music during the daytime, and perform at a public concert on Saturday 7 PM.

Past compositions have ranged from brass duet to solo viola to unique percussive experiences!
