Cal Poly faculty to perform showcase during Mustang Family Weekend
– Cal Poly Music Department faculty members will perform in a Faculty Showcase recital at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31, in Room 218 of the Davidson Music Center.
The event is part of Cal Poly’s Mustang Family Weekend and will feature instrumental applied faculty recognized across the region for their solo and chamber ensemble performances. The program includes works that highlight the performers’ artistic achievements.
New faculty member and Los Angeles-based flutist Jennifer Jo will make her Cal Poly debut with pianist Idona Cabrinha, performing Astor Piazzolla’s “Night Club 1960” from “Histoire du Tango.” Violinists Emily Lanzone and Grace Seng will perform a movement from Sergey Prokofiev’s “Sonata for Two Violins,” Op. 56. Pianist Janet Joichi will perform two movements from Frédéric Chopin’s “Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor,” Op. 35. Trumpeter Christopher Woodruff and tubist Stephen Nutt will perform a movement from Eugene Anderson’s “Baroque ’N Brass.”
Performers include Cabrinha, Jo, Joichi, Lanzone, Nutt, Seng, and Woodruff.
Music majors at Cal Poly are required to enroll in applied or private lessons each quarter. Many non-music majors participating in larger ensembles, including Cal Poly Symphony, Wind Bands, and University Jazz Bands, also take lessons with faculty.
The Halloween performance will include candy for attendees. Tickets will be available at the door for $10 general admission and $5 for students.
