On Wednesday, April 9, the New Millennium Series will present our Faculty Gala Concert at 7:30pm in the Music Recital Hall. The year's gala will feature Pete Nowlen on horn, Laurel Zucker on flute, Joel Elias on trombone, Deborah Shidler on oboe, staff accompanist Dr. John Cozza on piano, and others. The program will include the Trio for Horn Oboe, and Piano, Op. 188 by Carl Reinecke; Concerto for Alto Trombone, Op. 9 No. 2 by Tomaso Albinoni; Danse de la Chevre by Arthur Honegger; The Lullaby of the Flute by Francis Poulenc; and Dvorak's Serenade in D minor, Op. 44. Admission for this concert is $20 general, and $5 for students.

Rounding out the New Millennium Series this season will be a special treat - Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" in a first ever Sacramento performance of the composer's own arrangement for piano four-hands. The performance will feature pianists Gilbert Kalish and Christina Dahl on Saturday, May 10 at 7:30pm in the Music Recital Hall. A native New Yorker and graduate of Columbia College, Mr. Kalish studied with Leonard Shure, Julius Hereford and Isabella Vengerova. He has been the pianist of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players since 1969 was a founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble at SUNY Stonybrook, where he has served on the faculty since 1970. His discography of some 100 recordings encompasses classical repertory, 20th Century masterworks and new compositions. Born in Los Angeles, pianist Christina Dahl has had a multi-faceted career as a chamber player, soloist and teacher. She has been on the piano faculty at SUNY Stony Brook for nine years, and has twice been a cultural ambassador for the US State Department, once as a solo recitalist and once as the member of a violin/piano duo. Ms. Dahl has performed at Carnegie Weill Hall, Merkin Hall, and the National Gallery in Washington DC., and has performed on tour in Argentina, Columbia, Paraguay and Uruguay. Admission for this concert is $20 general, and $5 for students.
