Eight UI undergraduate vocal students have formed a madrigal group under the direction of Shari Rhoads. The group, featuring sopranos Kelsey Williams, Lexi Schiano, Samantha Blickhan, and Lauren Baker; tenors Robert Kemp and Aaron Sunstein; and basses Ivo Suarez and Joe Ellickson, will perform unaccompanied French chansons and Italian and English madrigals from the 15th century.
"Recursions" is not your typical museum show. Based upon samples of past work, participating artists from the Intermedia Area, the Cinema and Comparative Literature Department, and Electronic Music Studios team up with artists from other disciplines to produce new works for the show. "Recursions" sets up a fertile ground for the creation of collaborative artwork and provides a venue for it to be shown. "What results is a fusion of visual and aural art that is stimulating on many levels, sensually, aesthetically, and intellectually," said Mark NeuCollins, a UI adjunct assistant professor in the School of Art & Art History and coordinator of the event.
The piano—or more appropriately music for piano—will be our focus when
we bring back one of our favorite guests, UI faculty member Ksenia
Nosikova. She and some of her most accomplished piano students will
perform and fill us in on a recently-developed concert series held in
the University of Iowa’s Old Capitol Museum called “Piano Sundays.”
Nosikova will also perform works by the young female American/ Russian
composer Lera Auerbach whose works Nosikova has recently recorded.
