The music is meant to be detailed and intricate and first developed in the 18th century as a private medium for musicians in their own homes rather than an audience. What I like about it is the intimacy between the players. Everybody wants a piece of the musical pie and you follow the detail of the music from player to player. Students with valid identification from UNL, Wesleyan and Doane Colleges and youth under 18 pay half price. A Musical Evening of Emily Dickinson will be presented at 8 p.m. Nov. 24 in Kimball Recital Hall.
Admission is free.
Introduced by Chancellor James Moeser, the gala concert will feature solo songs on texts by Dickinson and a premier work for soprano and chamber ensemble by UNL composer Randall Snyder titled A Route of Evanescence . Snyder has set letters and poems by Dickinson as texts for this work. Finally, the gala concert will end with choral works for women's chorus on Dickinson texts. The UNL Chorale, under the direction of Carolee Curtright, will present these works. Following the film their will be an opportunity to view articles from the Lowenberg Collection in the Music Library, located in the basement of Westbrook.
