Faculty on Stage
December 7 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Michael J. Votta, JR., music director
Enjoy an evening of music featuring faculty from across the School of Music! UMWO is joined by Associate Professor of Flute Sarah Frisof, Oboe Lecturer Emily Tsai, Professor of Clarinet Robert Dilutis and Bassoon Lecturer Joey Grimmer for a performance of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ stunning Concerto Grosso for Woodwind Quartet and Wind Orchestra. Assistant Professor of voice Teri Bickham D.M.A. ‘19 takes the stage to perform Augusta Read Thomas’ A Plea for Peace, a meditative work representing an impassioned cry for peace.
Other works on this program include Leanna Primiani’s Glass Ceiling, a reflection on gender inequality, and Maurice Ravel’s La Vallée des Cloches, which evokes the sound of the tolling bells at midday in Paris. The performance concludes with Karel Husa’s Music for Prague, a piece that honors the beauty of Husa’s native city after the 1968 Soviet invasion known as “Prague Spring.”
