On July 13, the pianist Paul Barnes gives the regional premiere of Victoria Bond's Illuminations on Three Byzantine Chants, as part of a larger program of piano works based on Byzantine, Jewish, and Native American Chant. Live-streamed from Kimball Recital Hall in Lincoln, NE, the recital is part of the Lied Center Piano Academy (LCPA) where Barnes serves as artistic director, and will be available via Facebook.
This work represents over twenty years of creative collaboration between the composer and pianist. Barnes says "Chanting in Orthodox churches for the last quarter of a century, I wanted to select byzantine hymns that reflected the wide emotional range and spiritual message of Orthodox Christianity. I’m thrilled with the final result and excited to give the Nebraska premiere as the new artistic director of the LCPA."
The livestream will take place at 7pm Central / 5pm Pacific.
