SAINT LUKE RECORDER SERIES 2007-2008 |
 |
|
The Saint Luke Recorder Series grows out of our commitment to enhancing the musical experiences we regularly provide for the Chicagoland public. In the 2007-2008 series we build on the foundation of new music and challenges to the recorder, expanding to comparisons of similar genre from different centuries and exploring color and texture. This concert series will pair some of the icons in recorder literature; e.g., Bach, Loeillet, van Eyck, Corelli, with modern works that explore recorder timbre in unique ways and combinations. This year the second recital will also present two world premiere performances of works by Randall Snyder, composer in residence at the University of Nebraska. The artist for this recital series is John Langfeld, a Chicago area musician who has specialized in exploring performance practices for Baroque and 20th Century recorder music as well as in performing the many seldom programmed compositions for unaccompanied alto recorder. His interest in performing both traditional and more contemporary styles provides an unusual opportunity to discover the relatively untapped “musical universe” of which recorders are capable. In addition to this series, Mr. Langfeld provides lecture-demonstrations and school-related, “outreach” programs for Saint Luke Academy and the surrounding community. |
