SAN LUIS OBISPO — Cal Poly music faculty will present a showcase recital at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, in Room 218 of the Davidson Music Center (No. 45) on campus.
The event is part of Cal Poly’s Mustang Family Weekend and will feature several of the Music Department’s applied faculty, who are recognized across the region for their expertise in solo and chamber ensemble performance. They will present intimate works that highlight their artistic achievements.
Faculty performing solos include guitarist James Bachman, who will play “Retrato Brasileiro” by Baden Powell; Keith Waibel, who will perform a movement from Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Suite No. 2 in D Minor” on bass clarinet; and W. Terrence Spiller, who will play Frédéric Chopin’s “Ballade in A-flat major,” Op. 47.
Several faculty members have been collaborating and will perform in duos and chamber ensembles, including Lisa Nauful, bassoon, Richard Dobeck, clarinet, and Paul Woodring, piano; Katherine Arthur, soprano, and Heidi Butterfield, oboe; Amy Goymerac, soprano, and Woodring, piano; Mark Miller, trombone, and Christopher J. Woodruff, trumpet; and John Astaire, percussion, and Nauful, bassoon, who will be joined by 2017 Music Department graduate Emelia Banninger on bassoon. Banninger studied with Nauful while she was at Cal Poly.
