The Department of Music at SUU offers the second annual Abendmusik: Adjunct Faculty Recital on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. in Southern Utah Museum of Art. This evening of music showcases the adjunct faculty and highlights the talent they share with students at SUU. Admission is free and the concert is open to the public.
Adrienne Read, Adjunct Professor of Music at SUU, said, “There is nothing that can compare to attending live performances and the upcoming Adjunct Faculty Recital will be a treat for those who attend. I am looking forward to another opportunity to perform with Dr. Roland Stearns. This semester will feature him on the lute as we play some delightful pieces from the Baroque era of music history. Dr. Stearns’ style and interpretation are world-class, and it’s always an honor for me to work with a talented, knowledgeable musician of his caliber.”
Attendees can expect a wide assortment of musical style to be featured at this upcoming performance. Read went on to say, “In contrast to the baroque collaboration with Dr. Stearns, Carylee Zwang, Adjunct Professor, and I will be performing a modern piece. The composer, Philip Parker, wanted to write a piece that features the two most ancient instruments that are still in use today—the flute and drums. “The Python Dance” from Beneath the Canopy is a thrilling number inspired by the music styles of Africa, South America, and Asia. A pounding bass drum and fiery runs on the flute will certainly make this a memorable feature of the evening’s program.”
Michelle Lambert, Adjunct Professor of Music at SUU, said, “I am preparing a trombone solo by Leonard Bernstein called "Elegy for Mippy II". It comes from a suite of pieces for brass instruments that combine Bernstein's love of jazz with his affection for dogs. This particular piece was written for unaccompanied trombone in honor of his brother Burtie's mongrel. The solo has been fun to prepare because it is short, imaginative, and just a little bit sassy.”
