Colleagues Perform in Honor of Mother’s Day
Four Texas Tech University School of Music colleagues are partnering to perform in “A Musical Celebration,” a concert dedicated to Mother’s Day. The concert is at 3 p.m. May 12 in the Helen DeVitt Jones Sculpture Court at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
The concert features Chuck Seipp, assistant professor of trumpet; Katrin Meidell, visiting assistant professor of viola; Tiffany Holmes, Hemmle Recital Hall manager and flutist; and Nataliya Sukhina, senior staff accompanist and pianist.
The ensemble was formed through friendships created at the beginning of the 2012 school year partly because three of the four members were new to Texas Tech, Seipp said.
“I was struck by incredibly talented, gifted and caring people who really stood for excellence and are awesome to be around professionally and personally,” he said.
Seipp said the instruments played are not a commonly performed together, so the music was arranged specifically for the group. There will also be solo selections by the trumpet, piano and viola.
Music performed includes Handel, Beethoven, Clarke, Anderson, Broughton, Ewazen, Vaughan Williams and Albinoni.
The Mother’s Day performance is meant to celebrate the occasion with music, but also to enjoy exhibits of art and history throughout the Museum of Texas Tech University, Seipp said.
“The opportunity to perform beautiful music together, not only for our enjoyment,” he said, “but in recognition and celebration of Mother’s Day with the collaboration of the music department and the Museum of Texas Tech University is perfect and meaningful for the special day.”
The concert is free and open to the public. Parking and admission into the museum are free of charge. For this event, enter through the west (Indiana-facing) doors.
