UW Faculty Recital Series Final Fall Concert is Sunday

“Masterworks of the Late 19th Century” is the theme of the University of Wyoming Department of Music’s Faculty Recital Series final fall concert Sunday, Nov. 16, at 3 p.m. in Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall. The performance is free and open to the public.

Faculty members performing are: Sherry Sinift, violin; Jason Johnston, French horn; Chi-Chen Wu, piano; Beth Vanderborgh, cello; and guest violist Rebecca Henry.

The concert highlights the lush, sweeping moods of the Romantic Era. Johannes Brahms’ magnificent “Horn Trio in E-flat major, Op. 40” was composed in 1865 to commemorate the death of his mother earlier that year. Faure’s “Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 15” was first performed in 1880.
