BOLIVAR, Mo. – The ±«Óătv Community Concert Series opens its inaugural season with a voice recital presented by Dr. Eric McCluskey at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 9 in Meyer Recital Hall on the Bolivar campus of ±«Óătv.
McCluskey, a baritone, will be performing works by Schumann, Bellini, Massenet, Finzi,
Rossini and Wilson.
A native of southern Illinois, McCluskey began performing throughout the United States with opera companies and symphony orchestras after completing a master’s degree at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. He had the opportunity to sing Mahler’s “Songs of a Wayfarer” with the Paris Opera Ballet while the late Rudolf Nureyev danced. McCluskey, an assistant professor of voice at the University of Evansville, sang professionally for 18 years before earning a doctor of music degree from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
The public is invited to attend this free recital and is encouraged to attend a reception in the Meyer Recital Hall lobby after the performance, as well as support ±«Óătv Music students through donations for music scholarships.
Other artists scheduled to appear as part of the ±«Óătv Community Concert Series include: Danilo Mezzadri and Brian Hsu. The William and Kathy Brown Guest Artist Series will present Duo MemDi (Igor Kalnin and Rochelle Sennet) in concert in April 2019.
