Faculty Series
Scenes from the Faculty Series September 18, 2012 featuring Nicolò Spera, guitar with Paul Erhard, double bass; Gary Lewis, conductor; Patrick Mason, narrator; Daniel Silver, clarinet & saxophone; Douglas Walter, percussion; and Garrett Aman, accordion.
The concert marked the US première of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s incidental music to Morning in Iowa, the narrative poem by Robert Nathan. In thirty-six pictures, music and poetry gracefully and colorfully portray a love story, taking us on a journey through immense America, its dreams and its legends. We’ll travel from New England to Iowa and on to ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, where the infinite Western skies unite the musical traditions of jazz, blues, Native Americans… and Italy!
