Milburn\u2019s music has been described by critics as craggy, colorful, romantic, aggressive, searing, sweetly poignant, overwhelming, thrilling, powerful, wickedly funny, eloquent, brilliant, raging, and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe selection of Ellsworth Milburn as the 2006 featured composer was widely supported by the music faculty,\u201d says Dr. Charles Argersinger, professor of composition and creator of the festival. \u201cI believe his compositions will receive broad favor with art music fans in eastern Washington. Milburn\u2019s string quartets have been described as among the finest in contemporary literature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"114\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3166\/2023\/01\/ellsworth-milburn.jpg\" alt=\"Ellsworth Milburn\" class=\"wp-image-118\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13947,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13947"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/117\/revisions\/280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=117"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/music.wsu.edu\/focam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
