CONWAY, Ark. (August 26, 2019)
– The complete songs of French Romantic period composer Henri Duparc (1848-1933)
make up the full program of “Luxe, calme et volupté,” a vocal recital set for Sunday,
September 15, 2019, in Reves Recital Hall, Trieschmann Fine Arts Building, on
the campus of Hendrix College. The program begins at 3 p.m., and is free and
open to the public.
Performers include:
- Joylýn
Rushing, soprano, University of Central Arkansas
- Sarah
Stankiewicz Dailey, mezzo-soprano, Hendrix College, Henderson State University
- Barbara
Clements, soprano, Arkansas Tech University
- Jon
Clements, baritone, Arkansas Tech University
- John
Krebs, piano, Hendrix College
Duparc lived to be 85, yet
he wrote very little. In fact, he stopped composing in his 30s. However, the
sixteen songs he did write are “exquisite and of high quality,” says Krebs, the
Willis H. Holmes Distinguished Professor of Music at Hendrix.
“In terms of length, when
performed together, the sixteen songs make up a good recital program,” said
Krebs. “By dividing up the songs among four singers, no one individual has to
shoulder too much of a burden.”
