BROOKINGS Bradley Snyder, South Dakota State Universitys instructor of low brass, will present a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. March 3 in Founders Recital Hall at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center. This years recital is based on the theme Something Old and Something New.
The recital will open with a combination of those two ideas in a piece for unaccompanied trombone titled Caravaggio by John Stevens. Written in 2016, Stevens work was inspired by the various artistic elements found in the paintings of Renaissance painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Next on the program will be Robert Schumanns Three Romances, Op. 94 and Jean-Michel Defayes A La Maniere de Schumann, which was composed in 2000.
The second half of the recital will feature two new works. Mourning Dove is a composition by Megumi Kanda, principal trombonist of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. The final piece on the program is James Davids sonata for trombone and piano titled Secure.Contain.Protect.
The recital is free and open to the public.
