Description
Augustana Arts is pleased to present the world premiere performance of Happy Days for string trio composed just a month ago by renowned composer Emma Lou Diemer.
Join us on Colorado Gives Day -- Tuesday, December 8th at 7 pm -- for Happy Days featuring Stratus musicians Philip Ficsor, Carrie Beeder, and William Hinkie. Composer Emma Lou Diemer is an American composer, best known for her works for organ and choir. Dedicatee Philip Ficsor has released two recordings with Diemer at the keyboard and describes Happy Days as "Breath-taking in its beauty and emotional power. Its light-hearted series of movements belie their compositional sophistication." Ms. Diemer will share her insights about each and will join us for the premier via Zoom from her home in Santa Barbara, California!
This event is presented in collaboration with Groupmuse, a virtual performance platform. The livestream program will begin at 7 pm with the performance starting at 7:15 pm. The full program will also feature Dvorak's Terzetto after intermission and Q&A with the composer. All donations will directly benefit Augustana Arts in recognition of Colorado Gives Day. Preregistration through Groupmuse is required, and the entry cost to Groupmuse is $3. Donations during and after the performance in support of all our artists and the work of Augustana Arts are appreciated.
