Lee University’s School of Music will present the Chamber Music Showcase on Tuesday, Nov. 26, at 6 p.m. in Squires Recital Hall, located in the Humanities Center on Lee’s campus. The event is co-directed by Lee’s Dr. Doug Warner, director of applied music, and Dr. Gloria Chien, artist-in-residence.   

Lee University’s chamber music program focuses on classical music performed by small ensembles. The participating students audition and are placed into duos, trios, and other groupings. Throughout the semester, these ensembles meet with faculty members from Lee’s School of Music each week for coaching and critique. The Chamber Music Showcase highlights the progress the chamber ensembles have made throughout the semester. Each ensemble is student-run.   

The ensembles will include both instrumentalists and vocalists performing works by Alexander Borodin, Carlos Gardel, and Franz Schubert.   

“Chamber Music is an elective for our music majors, so we never know until students are registered what our instrumentation will be,” said Warner. “Dr. Chien is a master at assembling ensembles and finding challenging repertoire for them to tackle. We look forward to sharing this interesting program with our community!”   

The student performers in this semester’s ensemble includes Lily Allen, mezzo-soprano; Arami Anderson, violin; Li Chang, piano; Noah Hamilton, horn; Daphne Jiang, violin; Taylor Lewis, cello; Jonathan Meyer, viola; and Noah Miller, piano.   

The concert, which is free, non-ticketed, and open to the public, will also be available for livestream viewing at leeu.live.
