East Central Regional Library invites you to an entertaining performance starring George Maurer. This  performer, composer and producer has toured the country to illustrate the impact on music in today's culture while using today's technology to enhance appreciation for the arts.  In his Creating Music with Computers presentation, Maurer  uses his keyboard, microphone, and visual display to show how music is composed with computers and digital technology for albums, movie soundtracks, television shows, video games, and more. This event is geared toward students of all grade levels and adults.
