BECKWITH RECITAL SERIES

All concerts are held in Beckwith Recital Hall.

September 29 - Brierwood Ensemble + Daniel McCloud | 7:30 pm

The Brierwood Ensemble (Christina Brier, harp; Linda Estep, violin; Clark Spencer, viola; Helena Kopchick Spencer, bassoon) joins with composer-percussionist Daniel McCloud to perform music that evokes light, color, and the natural world. This recital features the world premiere of Dr. McCloud’s Moonbow, a four-part suite inspired by the hues of the gray spectrum – Gainsboro, rhythm, alabaster, and eigengrau – and intended to capture the warmth and comfort of an intimate gathering of friends on a clear summer night. Other works on the program include selections from UNCW alumnus Ryan Mulder’s North Carolina Lighthouse Suite and French Romantic composer Henriette Renié’s Trio in B-flat Major.

October 20 - The Cann Sisters Piano Duo | 8:00 pm

Sisters Kimberly & Michelle Cann, “darlings of duo pianists,” are consummate musicians passionate about performing a wide range of multi-cultural repertoire throughout the US and to fostering increased appreciation for the arts in their local communities. Kimberly and Michelle began performing professionally as The Cann Duo in 2010 and since then, they have toured extensively throughout the US. Their electrifying performances & engaging outreach programs and presentations are all the more meaningful due to the unmistakable sound of their lifelong hereditary connection.

November 19 - William Hueholt, piano | 7:30 pm

William Hueholt is a pianist, improvisor, and composer whose work is grounded in the classical tradition while exploring wide-ranging connections between genres. Hueholt was praised by Classical Voice of North Carolina for his "prowess...the poetic sections were spun out beautifully, while his fingers seemed to be made of steel in the thunderous passages."
