Soprano Jenny Ribeiro will sing the fiery aria “Ich kann nicht sitzen” from Strauss’s opera Elektra. She will also be joined by saxophonist Nathan Salazar for a performance of Lori Laitman’s moving song cycle I Never Saw Another Butterfly, set to texts by children of the Holocaust. Trombonist John Robinson will present Rachamaninoff’s haunting Elégie and cellist Jinhyun Kim will perform Florence Price’s reflective Adoration, both in collaboration with pianist Nicholas Laban. Rounding out the program is a collection of duets for violin and cello by Reinhold Glière, presented by Jinhyun Kim and violinist Ji Hyun Kim.

This concert will take place in Goodrich Chapel – it is free and open to the public. Join us for an afternoon of beautiful music!
