UPEI Super Bowl Recital
The UPEI Department of Music presents its Super Bowl weekend 'Faculty Recital Spectacular' on Saturday, February 5 at 7:30 pm at the Dr. Steel Recital Hall. This annual recital will feature most of UPEI's performance faculty performing as soloists and chamber musicians.
Professor Frances Gray is featured prominently throughout as she will perform Ginastera's Argentinian Dances and will collaborate with tubaist Gregory Irvine performing Mendelssohn's Song Without Words and soprano Sung-Ha Shin Bouey performing from the classical repertoire.
Classical guitar player Jim Dickson, who thrilled last year's audience, may do so again with his interpretation of Vals Venesolano No. 3 by the Spanish composer Antonio Lauro. Dale Sorensen, trombone and Jacqueline Sorensen-Young, piano, will perform Pergolesi's Sinfonia. UPEI percussionist Dave Shephard will perform Reverie by Gordon Stout on the marimba.
It is anticipated that a newly formed ensemble, The UPEI Aboriginal Singers Collective, may perform as well.
The mix of traditional and contemporary concert fare is apt to appeal to the avid concert goer. Tickets are available at the door.
