Faculty Tuesdays (2021)
Exploring Cultural Identities
Music is as integral to cultural identity as place of birth, language, food and social customs. In the Western canon of art and music, references to cultural identity can be overt or subtle, intentional or subconscious. Alexandra Nguyen is joined by David Requiro and Claude Sim for this program featuring works by Zoltán Kodály, Alexina Louie and Antonin Dvořák. These composers incorporated facets of their personal backgrounds into their music and by doing so created sonorities with a unique language and distinctly expressive effect.
Renowned faculty artists perform with students and colleagues in chamber music recitals featuring world premieres and beloved classics. Free most Tuesdays September through March.
