The Marshall University School of Music will hold a faculty recital featuring Dr. Michael Stroeher on trombone and Dr. Sara Park on piano. The event is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 1, at the Jomie Jazz Center Forum, which is next to the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.
Dr. Stroeher described the program by saying, “There will be something for everyone,” and added, “Gustav Mahler’s ‘Songs of a Wayfarer’ is a deeply passionate portrayal of love and loss. Anthony Barfield’s ‘Red Sky’ is a portrayal of the Big Bang and the creation of the universe, and Lauren Bernofsky’s ‘Two Latin Dances’ are a light-hearted Bossa Nova and Tango.”
Admission to the concert is free and open to all members of the public. The recital is sponsored by the School of Music within Marshall University’s College of Arts and Media.
