The chamber music ensemble Summerfest celebrates its 20th season with the world premiere of a composition by Ian Coleman, in keeping with its concert-season theme "Voices from the Land: Reflections on Identity."

Coleman's compositions—including a setting of the Langston Hughes poem "Dreams"—have been featured globally in prominent concerts. He is a professor of music theory and composition at William Jewell College. 

Summerfest has enriched the cultural life of Kansas City since 1991 through the performance of a variety of chamber music in a setting that fosters interaction between musicians and audience.
