CLAS and the OSU School of Music are happy to co-sponsor a Latin American Music Celebration, in two parts.
Guest Artists Recital: On Sunday, September 18, from 5 - 7 PM in Timashev Recital Hall, guest artists Luiz Pozzi (piano), Fábio Cury (bassoon), and Giba (percussion) will present a program of Brazilian music, showcasing a variety of styles.
Latin American Music Celebration Concert: This concert, held Thursday, September 22, from 8 - 9:30 PM in Weigel Auditorium, will feature both classical and contemporary compositions by composers from across Latin America. Performers include the Ohio State Wind Symphony, School of Music faculty, and students, as well as three guest artists-in-residence.
These performances are part of a series of academic exchange events. The artist residencies of Pozzi, Cury, and Giba, which will include master classes, the performances listed above, engagements with the Dept. of Spanish & Portuguese, and visits to local schools, represent the first stage of this collaboration.
In October, Susan Powell (percussion), Michael Torres (saxophone), David Hedgecoth (music eduation), and SOM Director Michael Ibrahim, together with CLAS Director Scott Schwenter and with support from OSU's Brazil Gateway, will travel to São Paulo for a residency at Universidade Estadual de São Paulo. The group will then continue on to Curitiba, Paraná for a residency with Universidade Federal do Paraná, in partnership with the Sister Cities International Program. Columbus and Curitiba are sister cities; Ohio and Paraná are sister states.
