Join composer Peter Dayton (MM ’16, Composition) for a celebration of the change of season: a concert of songs on the autumn themes of transition, mortality, and nature. “The Saunter into Autumn” features an eclectic program of contemporary art song, featuring sopranos Katie Procell (MM ’18, Voice) and Arianna Arnold (MM 18, Voice) singing works by Baltimore-based composers Dayton and Michael Rickelton (MM ’10, Composition), as well as works by Tania León and Carl Smith. Baritone (and pianist) Aaron Thacker (MM ’16, Piano) will give the world premiere of Dayton’s “In the Desert” song cycle, setting poetry by Stephen Crane. All ticket sales will go to the performing artists. Dayton and collaborative pianists Valerie Hsu and Thacker will accompany.
