The quartet piece will be performed at a free public concert next year at the DePaul Concert Hall, 800 W. Belden Ave.

The concert, to be held at 8 p.m. on May 14, 1999, is part of 1998-99 season for New Music DePaul, the professional contemporary music series sponsored by DePaul's School of Music. Other dates and artists for the 1998-99 New Music DePaul season will be announced.

The debut of the George Perle composition is one of dozens of events planned throughout the university during the next year to celebrate the centennial of DePaul's founding. The events begin with the 100th commencement ceremonies June 13-14, 1998.
