Faculty Recital: Lynn Raley, piano
Works by Haydn, Schubert, Liszt, and Rzewski
7:30 p.m.- Gertrude C. Ford Academic Complex Recital Hall
Free of charge

Pianist Lynn Raley will play a faculty recital that includes Frederic Rzewski's popular Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, one of his four "North American" Ballads" for piano. Written in 1979, it is a free fantasy on a blues tune that emerged from the labor struggles in the textile mills of the south in the 1930s. (The tune was later recorded by Pete Seeger.) Also on the program is Haydn's last sonata, the E-flat Hob. XVI:52, and works by Schubert and Liszt.
