- Christopher U. Light Lectureship Concert I: Nicola Melville, Piano
- Come and be part of the first audience to hear the world premiere of twelve new solo piano works commissioned by faculty pianist, Nicola Melville. These new pieces are a wonderful celebration of American sounds and influences: jazz, funk, tango, Appalachian, Peruvian, rock, minimalism, blues, ragtime and more. Ten of the composers will be discussing their pieces during the evening, including Carleton’s own Phillip Rhodes, 2007 Pulitzer Prize finalist Augusta Read Thomas, and Minneapolis-based Stephen Paulus. A fun and intriguing evening, where the creative talents of these incredible composers will be shared through these diverse miniatures of American music. Funded by The Jerome Composers Commissioning Program, the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council, the Christopher U. Light Fund, the Dayton-Hudson Distinguished Visiting Artists Fund and Carleton College.
