Perspectives in Diverse Classical Music: A Performance and discussion with Iris Rojas.
Part of Keene State College’s Perspectives in Diverse Classical Music salon series, the public is invited to bring a bag lunch while listening to music. Keene State student soprano, Iris Rojas, presents a short lecture and recital that will showcase works by African-American composers Florence Price, Moses Hogan and Hall Johnson, in addition to composers from the European standard canon of classical music, including Puccini and Bizet. Iris Rojas will give a short PowerPoint presentation for each musical selection and will offer personal anecdotes about several of the songs she has chosen to present. She will be sharing the stage with Vladimir Odinokikh at the piano.
This event is a collaboration between the Historical Society of Cheshire County, Keene State College’s Music Department and Office of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
