School of music students and faculty promise not to put listeners to sleep

Faculty members and students from the SHSU School of Music will perform an array of pieces during three concerts Tuesday through Thursday, March 7 to March 9.

On Tuesday, director of keyboard studies Sergio Ruiz and violin professor Andrew Wilson will play together for a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m.

The concert, which will be held in the Recital Hall, will include classical pieces such as W. A. Mozart’s “Sonata for Piano and Violin in B Flat Major, k. 454” and Johannes Brahms’ “Sonata #1 in G Major, opus 78,” as well as more modern pieces like Lillian Fuchs’ “Deux Danses a la Mode Ancien.”

“We will take this concert and perform it in Albuquerque, N.M., the following Saturday,” Ruiz said.

On Wednesday, Ruiz’s piano students will perform classics by Beethoven, Schumann and Chopin, at a performance at 7:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall.

Both concerts are free to the public. Any donations will go toward scholarships for students.

“From calming and serene to intense and forceful, listeners will enjoy an enthusiastic variety of music that will leave them asking for more,” he said.

Admission for this concert is also free and a reception will follow.
