Faculty to Give Saxophone Recital April 18

Westminster College faculty member, James Flowers, will give a saxophone recital Wednesday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

"Georges Bizet's well known opera Carmen will be at the heart of this concert featuring Westminster College faculty members, pianist Nancy Zipay DeSalvo, myself on the saxophone, and the vocal talents of some of Westminster's student performers: Nikki Douglas, Amanda Ehrhardt, Ashley Cesaratto, and Sonia Firster," said James Flowers, adjunct music faculty member. "We will also perform the very passionate Impressionist influenced works by Florent Schmitt and Fernande Decruck, along with sensuous Spanish dances by Jérome Naulais. The program will close with Francois Borne's thrilling and virtuosic Fantaisie Brillante" based on themes from Carmen."
