Linfield College Department of Music will present the Faculty-Student Chamber Ensemble concert on Sunday, April 17, at 4 p.m. in the Delkin Recital Hall in the Vivian Bull Music Center at Linfield.
The concert will highlight modern composers’ approach to time as a subject and element of music. Centered around Olivier Messiaen’s seminal work, “La Quatuor pour la fin du temps” (“Quartet for the end of time”), the program will also feature Joan Tower’s “Très lent (Hommage à Messiaen),” written in response to the Messiaen piece, along with Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel,” Alexander Tcherepnin’s “Ten Bagatelles” and other influential works.
Student performers include senior Quillan Bourassa on clarinet and sophomore Sophia Reinhardt on piano. Faculty performances will be given by Albert Kim, piano; Vicki Gunn, violin; and Diane Chaplin, cello.
The Linfield Cello Ensemble, directed by Chaplin, will also perform. The cello ensemble includes students John Christensen, Mary Beth Jones, Aviella Lee-Petzak, Sophia Reinhardt, Anna Vanderschaegen and Keelan Wells.
The concert is free, open to the public, and made possible by the generosity of dedicated music supporters who value live classical music in the community. It is part of the Department of Music’s Ensemble Education program, giving advanced Linfield music students the opportunity to play alongside mentor musicians in study and performance.
