Music to present free concerts

Published September 29, 2017 This content is archived.

The Department of Music offers members of the UB community opportunities to hear great music at no cost.

Here’s what’s in store for October.

A Brown Bag Concert will take place at noon on Oct. 3 in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus.

The Brown Bag Concert series of free, informal concerts presented during the lunch hour allows patrons to catch a glimpse of the kind of programming offered on a regular basis by the Department of Music.

The October concert will feature performances by UB music students and faculty. Patrons are encouraged to bring their lunch. Each attendee will receive a voucher redeemable for a pair of complimentary tickets to a more formal concert within the following month.

Also on the schedule for free concerts this month is the Wolf-Steger Fund Concert at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall. The program features music by Belgian composer Henri Pousseur, who was Slee Visiting Professor of Music at UB from 1966-67, and recent graduates of UB’s PhD program in composition program. Faculty performers include Jonathan Golove, cello; Eric Huebner, piano; and Tiffany Du Mouchelle, soprano.

Among other free concerts on tap are performances by students in Jean Kopperud’s “On the Edge” class, including the freshman seminar mid-semester concert No. 1 at 5 p.m. Oct. 10 and mid-semester concert No. 2 at 5 p.m. Oct. 17, and the class concert at 3 p.m. Oct. 17, all in Baird Recital Hall.

In addition, master’s student and mezzo-soprano Minxin She will give her MM recital at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30 in Baird Recital Hall.
