Brighten up your lunchtime at noon on April 22 with a special concert in Annenberg Hall featuring Bienen School of Music students. Slated for Wednesday's program are masterworks for soloists and chamber ensembles with compositions by Vaughan-Williams, Bach, Beethoven and others. Musical performances by Northwestern students are being featured through the Noontime Concert Series, co-sponsored by Bienen School of Music and the School of Education and Social Policy. At the April 22 concert there will be compositions performed by solo piano, solo guitar, tuba and piano and a solo percussion improvisation.
The concert begins promptly at noon in G02 Annenberg Hall, and attendees may feel free to bring their lunch for this informal event.
"The Annenberg Noontime Concert Series is designed to provide faculty, staff and students who reside on 'north campus' with the opportunity to experience excellent music performances in a nearby venue, with great acoustics, an excellent piano and an environment for an intimate and up-close listening experience," says Bernard Dobroski, a professor in the School of Music. "The programs for the series are drawn from a potpourri of classical solo and chamber music repertoires played by talented undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the Bienen School of Music."
The final concert of the year is scheduled for May 13, also in Annenberg Hall. Generally the series has featured two concerts per quarter.
SESP professor Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon, one of the organizers of the concert series, says, "We joyfully welcome back the Noontime Concert Series. A tradition that was established in 1996, the series has resumed after a three-year hiatus. … Come and enjoy great music and great performances in Annenberg Hall."
