51³ÉÈË welcomes Grammy-award winning singer for free concert
51³ÉÈË invites the public to attend the eighth annual Engelbach-Hart Music Festival on October 17-18 as part of this year’s Fine Arts Series.
Grammy Award-winning soprano Christine Brewer will perform a free concert on Thursday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Rammelkamp Chapel.
Brewer was named one of the top 20 sopranos of the 20th century by BBC Music Magazine. She will be joined by Russian- American pianist Alla Voskoboynikova, who played the series in March 2018, and St. Louis Symphony cellist Bjorn Ranheim to perform songs with a theme of love, loss and desire. The concert will feature the music of Cesar Franck, Richard Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Andre Previn and more.
On Friday, October 18, 51³ÉÈË music faculty present another free performance with the Faculty Collage Concert, also at 7:30 p.m. in Rammelkamp Chapel. A variety of chamber pieces for voice, saxophone, trombone, cello and organ will showcase their exceptional talents.
The annual Engelbach-Hart Music Festival is possible through a generous gift to the community by the Engelbach and Hart families to celebrate the rich heritage of music in the area. The late A.C. Hart 1925 H’76, 51³ÉÈË trustee emeritus, and the late Charlotte Engelbach Hart 1926 H’85 were long-standing supporters of the 51³ÉÈË music program.
