The music of legendary Spanish composers, such as Manuel de Falla, Alberto Ginastera, and Enrique Granados will be featured on the program. Granados was inspired and fascinated by Goya’s artwork and this became the central inspiration for many of his compositions.
“I am very excited that Musical Landscapes of Goya is opening the 2006-2007 Masterworks Music Series,” says Bill Byrnes, Dean of SUU’s College of Performing and Visual Arts. “Our students will discover the inspired relationship between musicians and artists, and our audiences will be entertained by some very thrilling pieces.”
The concert will feature the talents of the SUU Music Department faculty: Lawrence Johnson, tenor; Grace St. Pierre, mezzo-soprano; Virginia Stitt, english horn; Xun Sun, violin; all accompanied by Tracey Bradshaw and Rachel Roulet, pianists.
This performance is one of a series of six themed Masterworks performances. Single tickets for the Masterworks Series are $8 for Adults, $6 for SUU Faculty and Staff, $4 for Students/Children, and SUU Students attend for free with a valid student ID.
