Luther Memorial Concert Series

The Spirit of America: A Recital of American Art Song

June 22, 2025

Description

I’m thrilled to invite you to a recital of American Art Song on Sunday, June 22 at 4:00 PM, presented as part of the Luther Memorial Concert Series. I’ll be joined by the wonderful Dr. Sarah Kahl on piano.

This program celebrates some of the rich diversity of American music, featuring works by composers such as H.T. Burleigh, Bruce Trinkley, and Dave Ragland. You'll hear a wide variety of styles including folk songs, spirituals, classical art songs, and songs from the Great American Songbook—all in English and all highlighting the unique voices of American composers.

The event will be free, and donations will be gratefully accepted in person or via GoFundMe (https://gofund.me/936e5932). Contributions will help cover pianist fees for the recital and support my upcoming participation in the Music Academy of the West.

The recital will be livestreamed, and a link will be posted on this page prior to the performance.

I hope to see you there, either in person or online!
