2:25 p.m., Sept. 5, 2003--UD’s Department of Music presents its 14th annual faculty gala concert opening the fall concert season at 8 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 9, in the Loudis Recital Hall of the Amy E. du Pont Music Building. The concert features music faculty ensembles and soloists.

The annual event gives audiences with an opportunity to hear a cross section of UD faculty artists, many of whom will present full recitals during the coming year, and a program featuring a wide variety of musical periods and styles.

Featured faculty artists are pianists Christine Delbeau and Julie Nishimura (Lutoslawski’s “Variations on a Theme of Paganini” for two pianos), the Del’Arte Wind Quintet (“Dance Suite” by Paul Valjean), soprano Marie Robinson and baritone Patrick Evans (Duet from “I Pagliacci” by Leoncavallo), the Taggart-Grycky Duo (“Two Retratos” by Radames Gnatalli), trombonist Jay Hildebrandt and pianist Julie Nishimura (“Flight of the Bumblebee” by Rimsky-Korsakov), oboists James Prodan and Lloyd Shorter with pianist Carol Prodan (“Sonate a tre” by Johan Helmich Roman) and cellist Stephen Framil (“Pezzo Capriccioso, Op. 62,” by Tchaikovsky), plus UD Faculty Jazz.

General admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $3 for students. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Bob Carpenter Center or Trabant University Center box offices or at the door. A meet-the-artists reception, sponsored by Wilmington Piano Co., follows the concert.
