Bradley Snyder, �ձ�av��Ƶ’s instructor of low brass, will present a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 3, in Founders Recital Hall at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center. 

This year’s recital is based on the theme “Something Old and Something New.” 

The recital will open with a combination of those two ideas in a piece for unaccompanied trombone titled “Caravaggio” by John Stevens. Written in 2016, Stevens' work was inspired by the various artistic elements found in the paintings of Renaissance painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Next on the program will be Robert Schumann’s “Three Romances, Op. 94” and Jean-Michel Defaye’s “A La Maniere de Schumann,” which was composed in 2000. 

The second half of the recital will feature two new works. “Mourning Dove” is a composition by Megumi Kanda, principal trombonist of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. The final piece on the program is James David’s sonata for trombone and piano titled “Secure.Contain.Protect.” Written in 2020, the work seeks to represent an alternate science fiction universe through music. 

The recital is free and open to the public.
