The University of Georgia’s Hugh Hodgson School of Music invites the community to an evening of musical exploration and storytelling on Tuesday, September 1 at 7:30 p.m. Hosted in the UGA Performing Arts Center’s Ramsey Concert Hall, the first installment of this year’s Faculty Artist Series features dynamic performances by Jay Ivey (baritone) and Andrew Voelker (piano). The concert is completely free to attend and will be immediately followed by a reception and meet-and-greet with the artists.

About the Program

Centered around the evocative theme of "wandering," the evening's repertoire traverses a diverse musical landscape of quests, journeys, and wayfaring. The program fluidly blends classical masterpieces with theatrical favorites. Highlights of the performance include:

• Gustav Mahler’s sweeping song cycle, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer)
• Selections inspired by the tales of Don Quixote
• Classic pieces from the beloved musical Man of La Mancha
• Let Us Garlands Bring by Finzi with text by Shakespeare
