• Sept. 24: Paul Barnes Recital: A Bright Sadness. 7:30 p.m. Kimball Recital Hall. No in-person audience. The concert will be webcast. Please visit https://music.unl.edu the day of the performance for the link. Marguerite Scribante Professor of Piano Paul Barnes presents a contemplative and cathartic program of piano works inspired by the mystical world of Native American, Greek, Jewish and Latin chant. Barnes, a concert pianist and Greek Orthodox chanter, has collaborated most recently with Philip Glass and Victoria Bond to create piano works based on ancient byzantine and Jewish chant. Barnes has also been a passionate champion of the works of Liszt and performs Liszt’s late masterpiece Via Crucis, the Way of the Cross, exploring the painful but ultimately triumphal journey of Christ to the cross. Barnes will be joined by Assistant Professor of Music in Choral Activities Marques Garrett and the UNL Chamber Singers and Nicholas Lemme and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Schola. World premieres on this program include Barnes’ transcription of Philip Glass’s Annunciation and the choral version of David von Kampen’s new piano work Trisagion. The overall theme of “bright sadness” permeates the program as the tremendous depth and intensity of ancient chant is seen through the bright prism of hope and love.
