UW Faculty Recital Series Presents Harvey and Han Sept. 29

Alan Harvey, tuba, and Jiwon Han, piano, will perform Sunday, Sept. 29, as part of the University of Wyoming Department of Music’s Faculty Recital Series.

The two will perform at 7:30 p.m. in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts recital hall. The recital is free and open to the public.

The program will feature old and new works for tuba and piano by Benedetto Marcello, Robert Muczynski, J.E. Barat and Benjamin Dean Taylor.

Harvey, UW tuba lecturer, holds principal tuba positions in the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra, the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra in Casper and the Steamboat Symphony Orchestra in Colorado. He is enthusiastic about music-making in brass quintets with his colleagues throughout the region.

Han, UW staff collaborative pianist, is a South Korean-born pianist. He first gained attention in 1997 at age 10 when he appeared as a soloist with the Korean Philharmonic Orchestra performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K.488. The same year, he gave a solo recital at Incheon Culture and Arts Center.

Han performs as a chamber musician, orchestral pianist and collaborative pianist, and he also teaches and conducts regularly. He has released two solo albums: “Debut” and “Romanticism.” Additionally, he has released two collaborative albums: “Bach-Schubert,” a live performance with violinist Zia Shin, and “Works by German Composers” with violinist Fangting Chen.
