Join us for an enchanting afternoon of vocal music as Risha Hussain, a talented soprano from the Northwestern Bienen School of Music, presents her Bachelor of Music recital. This captivating event will take place on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at 2:30pm CDT in the intimate setting of the McClintock Choral and Recital Room.

Under the guidance of her mentor, Nancy Gustafson, Risha will perform a diverse program that showcases her versatile vocal range and emotional depth. The recital will feature a selection of works by composers such as Léo Delibes, Fernando Obradors, Fernando Sor, Gioachino Antonio Rossini, Giovanni Sgambati, Antonio Vivaldi, Jules Massenet, Edvard Grieg, and Franz Schubert. Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Sposa son disprezzata" from Vivaldi's Bazajet, the poignant "Élégie" by Massenet, and Schubert's virtuosic "Der Hirt auf dem Felsen."

Risha will be accompanied by an ensemble of talented musicians, including Miguel Rodriguez on flute, Andrew Kang on clarinet, Emily Reader on harp, Eli Oesterheld on guitar, with Olga Sklyanskaya and Rena Maduro on piano, and Felix Garkisch on violin.

This event is free and open to the public, offering a wonderful opportunity to experience the next generation of classical music talent. No tickets are required, and for those unable to attend in person, a live stream of the recital will be available.

Don't miss this opportunity to support emerging talent and enjoy an afternoon of exquisite music. The McClintock Choral and Recital Room is located at 70 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL 60208, within the Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Center for the Musical Arts.
