Monica Jakuc Leverett, Elsie Irwin Sweeney Emerita Professor of Music, will honor her three composer friends who passed in 2023 with a concert of works for solo piano. Perera’s Out of Shadow, a celebratory piece written for Jakuc’s London debut recital in 1988, is followed by Tann’s Light from the Cliffs, a lyrical ode to the landscape of her native Wales. Two Spratlan pieces, Speck Pond Rag, and Pelham Lake Rag will end the program. Free and open to the public.
