Join UMD faculty from across the School of Music as they celebrate violist Katherine Murdock's retirement from the University of Maryland! This performance features chamber works that spotlight the viola, culminating in a performance of Brahms' monumental Piano Quartet No. 2 in A Major, op. 26. Featuring Professors Robert DiLutis, Eric Kutz, Katherine Murdock, Irina Muresanu, Rita Sloan and James Stern, this performance is sure to be spectacular!
Ned Rorem, composer
Gertrude Stein, libbretist
Come stay up late with Ned Rorem’s Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters. With a libretto by Gertrude Stein, the opera follows five children as their make-believe game of murder blurs the line between reality and playing pretend. Whether the events of this comedy are real or not…well, wait and see.
Featuring provocative choreography by M.F.A. Dance students, this concert is a collection of eclectic new works, serving as an unguarded exploration of these diverse artists' talents and interests.

Dana Ciocarlie, piano
