Webster University Faculty Showcase

The **Webster University Community Music School and Department of Music** have invited the Symphony Meetup to join them for their Faculty Showcase on Friday, April 17th at 7:00 PM at the CMS Concert Hall, 535 Garden Avenue on campus. Several of Webster faculty members are also members of the St. Louis Symphony, making this a wonderful chance to hear them perform in a more intimate setting — and the event is completely free. We will have an optional 'dinner' before the concert. Just meet Tony at the BreadCo in historic oldtown Webster about 5:30. Be sure to answer the dinner question with your RSVP. Webster will be reserving excellent seats for our group to sit together based on your responses here. Please keep your RSVP current. You are welcomed to bring guests to this free event. There will be about 70 minutes of music with no intermission. Webster Community Music School representatives will meet with us in the lobby ... look for Leslie Wobbe, our cohost, when you arrive. They will get us properly situated for the performance. **Faculty presenting:** Nicolae Bica (violin) with Erin Schreiber (violin - guest) Doug Gilliland (piano) Soo Kyung Kim (piano) Song Lyu (voice) Alex McKamie (violin) Jorge Modolell (piano) Jessica Platt (violin) Angie Smart (violin) Graham Woodland (violin) with Elizabeth Ramos Torres (violin), McKayla Talasek (viola), Jun Seo (cello), and Vera Parkin (piano) **Repertoire** (not in concert order) Ballade No. 4 in F minor Op. 52 (Chopin) Violin Duo (Werfelmann) Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 (Rachmaninoff) Tzigane (Ravel) The Garden of Eden III.
