About Guest Artist: Lara Downes With BYU Faculty, Group For New Music, And Gamelan Bintang Wahyu in Provo, Utah
Brigham Young University is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition on February 7, 2024!
Pianist Lara Downes will be performing along with faculty musicians Diane Reich (voice), Scott Holden (piano), and Benjamin Nichols (saxophone). They will be joined by several BYU ensembles.
The concert will play a new song cycle by Christopher Trapani, who won the Barlow Prize in 2020. You’ll also hear the Barlow-commissioned masterpiece “Long Time Coming” by David Sanford, inspired by Duke Ellington.
Don’t forget - they will premiere a brand-new piece by BYU faculty composer Kevin Anthony.
The music won’t stop there! BYU faculty members such as Christian Asplund will play a Barlow-commissioned piece, where he’ll be a viola soloist accompanied by Gamelan Bintang Wahyu. There’s an ensemble piece by Stephen Jones, too!
Make sure to mark your calendars. It’s FREE to attend this event!
