A Philip Glass Chant Recital by Paul Barnes
Friday February 7th, 7:30 PM, Shigemi Matsumoto Recital Hall
Pianist and chanter Paul Barnes presents a unique program featuring his recent tribute to the creative relationship of world-renowned composer Philip Glass and sculptor Richard Serra. Barnes opens this recital with a set of his own popular transcriptions and etudes of Glass, an encore performance of the program he recently performed inside Serra’s Greenpoint sculpture on the University of Nebraska campus. Works featured represent a retrospective of Barnes’ 30-year collaboration with Glass. The program will also feature a newly-composed work for Barnes by Pepperdine composer N. Lincoln Hanks entitled Hristos anesti! which will receive its world-premiere performance at Pepperdine on February 6th, 2025. The work is based on the Greek and Arabic resurrection chant from the Greek Orthodox tradition. The second half of the program also reveals Barnes’ role as a Greek Orthodox chanter and will feature new works by Ron Warren, J.A.C Redford and Victoria Bond recently commissioned by Barnes and based on Native American, Jewish, and Byzantine chant.
