The UO Libraries offers three free concerts in Knight Library during November
EUGENE -- (Nov. 8, 2007) -- Visitors to the Knight Library on the University of Oregon campus will hear beautiful sounds coming from the Browsing Room this month—the sounds of live performances of classical music. In November, the UO Libraries will offer three free concerts in the Browsing Room as part of the Little Knight Music series.
A concert on Monday, Nov. 19, at 8:30 p.m. will feature UO French horn students under the guidance of Lydia Van Dreel, assistant professor of horn. Music on the program will include pieces by UO graduate composer and performer Jamie Keesecker, Paul Dukas, Anton Reicha and others.
On Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 5:15 p.m., a second concert will welcome the return of the UO School of Music and Dance faculty’s Oregon Wind Quintet. The quintet will play a premiere of a work by UO professor emeritus of composition, musicianship, and music history Hal Owen, music by UO alumnus Kurt Mehlenbacher '07, and quintets by Georges Onslow and Ferenc Farkas.
The third concert on Friday, Nov. 30, at 4 p.m. will feature UO School of Music and Dance students performing compositions by Ervin Schulhoff, Aram Khachaturian, György Ligeti, Franz Schubert, Eugène Bozza and Francis Poulenc, among others.
All performances are free and open to the public. A reception will follow each concert.
