Kimball Recital Hall will be the site of four University of Nebraska-Lincoln Glenn Korff School of Music ensembles coming up in the next few weeks.
To bring its concert season to a close, the UNL Wind Ensemble returns to where it began on April 15 at 7:30 p.m. Another collection of inspirational fragments comes together to provide a glimpse of the human psyche in its infinite diversity. Geometry, botany, emotional abandon, Guy Fawkes, a chance encounter between Schubert and Stravinsky on the Appalachian Trail, a common turn of phrase… Composers Roger Zare, Frank Felice, Carter Pann, Robert Linn, Michael Torke, and Jonathan Newman each contribute to a beautiful, varied, and inspiring portrait. The Wind Ensemble, directed by Carolyn Barber, is the university’s premiere concert band. Its select mission is to provide instrumentalists of advanced technical proficiency a pre-professional ensemble experience.
Then on Sunday, April 17 at 3 p.m., the Afternoon of Choirs (The All-Collegiate Choir, the University Chorale and the Varsity Chorus) will perform. This performance will also be live webcast: http://arts.unl.edu/music/webcasts.
On the next day, Monday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m., the UNL Percussion Ensemble’s third and final concert of the academic year features music inspired by physics and mathematics in nature, titled “Laws of Nature”. Inspiration for the compositions includes fractals, avalanche theory, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator. The program includes “The So-Called Laws of Nature” by David Lang, “Fractalia” by Owen Clayton Condon, “Slopes” by Paul Rennick, “Sensing the Coriolis” by Christopher Deane, and “Collide” by Jacob Remington.
Then the final of the four performances is the University Singers on Tuesday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m.
All of the performances are General Admission $5; Students/Seniors $3
