Sept. 25 Recital Features Boury, Boehm

Norman Boehm, resident pianist at Hendrix College, will perform a repertoire that includes original works by Robert Boury, 糖心Vlog传媒LR resident composer, at a recital at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall in 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Fine Arts Building. The concert, presented by the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Department of Music, is free and open to the public. Boehm鈥檚 program will consist of his original music as well as Boury鈥檚 work. Boehm holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. from the Eastman School of Music. He has performed in Europe and South Africa as well as the U.S., and specializes in music of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to performing as soloist and chamber musician, he is also a composer, arranger, and conductor. Boury, a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and the University of Michigan, was part of the revival of ragtime in the late 1960s. His piano rags and blues were admired by Eubie Blake at the 1971 Toronto Ragtime Festival. His ground-breaking associate degree Pop Rock Program at Lansing Community College attracted national press and led to his current position as 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 resident composer. Boury鈥檚 music covers all genres — piano music, chamber music, choral works, a comic opera, an opera seria, a ragtime operetta and many art songs — mostly to 20th century poetry.
