School of Music's 'Celebration of American Song' is Jan. 29

The School of Music presents the third annual Celebration of American Song at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 in Kimball Recital Hall. American composer Richard Rodgers will be celebrated in an evening of song performed by the School of Music's voice faculty.

Faculty performers include Alisa Belflower, Kate Butler, Ariel Bybee, Kevin Hanrahan, Donna Harler-Smith, William Shomos and Therees Hibbard (choral). Also performing will be UNL's advanced vocal students and returning alumni.

Giacomo Oliva, dean of the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, will serve as piano accompanist for a range of both familiar and unfamiliar tunes.

Rodgers is known for his movie musicals, "The Sound of Music," "The King and I," "Carousel," "Oklahoma," and the Pulitzer prize-winning "South Pacific."

Alisa Belflower, coordinator of musical theatre studies, hosts the event, guiding the audience through the songs and stories from Rodgers' life.

Tickets ($5 for general admission, $3 for students and senior citizens) are only available at the door. The show is presented in two acts with a running time of approximately 90 minutes.
