The Friday Evening Music Club announces its American Music Month recital, to be held on Friday, November 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Greensburg, 15 E. 2nd Street (across from the YMCA).

This recital will feature music by a mix of composers, including some American works. Opening the program will be an aria from Bach cantata #8, first performed on the 16^th Sunday after Trinity in 1724. Marc Tourre, baritone, will sing the aria, Doch weichet, ihr tollen (But hence, you foolish, useless worries), with Michele Boulet playing the flute obbligato and pianist, Sylvia Andrae playing the orchestral reduction.

The music club has invited musicians to share the stage with our member performers this month:

Percussionist Lindsey Lamagna has chosen to showcase a piece by American percussionist, ethnomusicologist and composer, Eugene Novotney. The snare drum work incorporates many different timbres that can be produced using just one drum, incorporating various sticks and mallets.

William Jeffrey Jones, Minister of Music and organist at First Presbyterian Church, will perform some delightful organ music to close the program.

Admission is free to club members and voluntary donations are accepted from non-members at the door.  All are invited to a reception following the recital.
