Duo Korusa performs with Industrial Carillon
Industrial Carillon, Lamar University’s new-music ensemble, will present special guest artists Duo Korusa in a concert featuring new and rarely performed works for piano, four hands at 7:30 p.m., Monday, March 9.
Duo Korusa is a versatile piano duo/duet team dedicated to the performance of lesser-known works of the 19th and 20th century, as well as new works of the 21st century. The duo consist of Jacob Clark, assistant professor of piano at LU, and his wife Sujung Cho, assistant professor of piano at Claflin University. The performance will also feature the works of South Carolina guest composer Thomas Dempster, whose compositions include computer/electronic sounds.
The Industrial Carillon was established to entertain, enlighten and challenge listeners with new, diverse concert music representing a variety of styles and cultures.
According to Nick Rissman, director of Industrial Carillon and associate professor of music at LU, video, live film and visual effects will provide a vivid experience for concertgoers.
The concert will take place in the architecturally striking atrium of the Mobil Oil Federal Credit Union at the corner of Delaware Street and Major Drive in Beaumont. Because of the unconventional nature of the venue, audience members are asked to arrive early because the doors will be shut at 7:30 p.m. as the concert begins.
Admission is free. For more information, call the Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music at (409) 880-8144 or visit lamar.edu/music.
