The Dimensions New Music Series began with one formal concert in 1980 and grew to a series that included three concerts on campus each year, a touring program and occasional concerts that featured outstanding student performers. Sixty-one (61) guest composers have been brought to campus to  work with students, lecture, and present master classes. Some have been here more than once.  Most have been American composers but some have come from as far away as Canada, Belgium, and Great Britain.  Additionally, the series has presented fifty-five (55) premieres of new works during its run.  In 1977, the series was given a grant from the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts to produce a CD recording of works that were representative of the best of the series.  That CD was sent to all FM radio stations in the United States and continues to receive airplay.  It was also sent to the Library of Congress and university music libraries.

Each academic year, three concerts are presented on campus in the Music/Mass Communication Building, Concert Hall of the.

All concerts are free and open to the public.
