Brianna Hatfield and Zach Sherwood Junior Recital

Join UCCS Music students Brianna Hatfield and Zach Sherwood as they perform their Junior Recital at the beautiful Ent Center for the Arts in the Chapman Foundations Recital Hall!

Vocalist Brianna Hatfield will be performing selections from the eccentric and beautiful works of Gabriel Fauré in a set titled Cinq Melodie, a cycle of five French songs that uses a unique harmonic language to communicate the poetry of Paul Verlaine. She will also be performing the charming and precise works of Clara Schumann in a set of songs titled Sechs Lieder, a cycle of six German songs set to the poetry of Heinrich Heine, Emanuel Geibel, and Friedrich Rückert. These songs all dance around themes of romance and distant memory, and create a deep sense of longing that intertwines with a dreamlike atmosphere.

Zach Sherwood’s recital includes several different genres and textures of music, ranging from a string quartet to cymbal soundscapes. Expect your definition of music to be challenged, as the pieces you will hear are quite strange and abstract, utilizing many different avant-garde composition and voicing styles. Zach invites you to come and be a part of the textural space and sonic landscape he has designed, with its execution aided by Mareena Crozier and Ethan Alexander.
