The Sweet Briar College Janet Lowrey Gager Community Concert Series will present “The Music of Spain,” at noon Tuesday, April 1 at Memorial Chapel. Admission is free and the public is welcome.
Associate professor of music Nicholas Ross will play several pieces from Suite espanola by Isaac Albeniz. Gretchen McDonough, a senior voice student whose minor is in Spanish, will perform Manuel de Falla’s “Siete Canciones Populares,” accompanied by adjunct piano instructor Anna Billias.
Rounding out the program will be guitar instructor Rafael Scarfullery performing guitar pieces by Enrique Granados, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tárrega and Joaquín Malats.
The Gager series is made possible by the support of Forrest Gager, in memory of his wife, Janet, who served as Sweet Briar’s director of public relations. The 50-minute noontime concerts are informal and attendees are encouraged to bring a bag lunch and enjoy the performances over their lunch hour.
