DUO is an exciting musical adventure with two artists who perform literature that taps into the human spirit and mirrors everyday life. From the sensual journey of love and life through Debussy’s Ariettes Oubliées to the poetic sadness and joy evoked in Enrique Granados’ Canciones Amatorias, UNL’s Glenn Korff School of Music soprano Jamie Reimer and guest artist/pianist Stacie Haneline explore their friendship and life’s journey with you for a night of true musical connection. The performance takes place Thursday, September 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Kimball Recital Hall. The performance is free and open to the public.

Passion, color, and exquisite musical language are featured in selections of Schubert Lieder. The evening concludes with Natural Selection, a song cycle by the award-winning American composer Jake Heggie.
