Faculty Showcase Events
The U School of Music is proud to honor the variety of scholarly talents and achievements of our faculty, students, and alumni. Please join us in celebrating the artistry and intellect of faculty research at our Sundays@7 and Fridays with Faculty events this academic year and come prepared to learn more about the where, when, why, and how of music composition, technology, performance, education, theory, and history. There is something at the U for the musician in all of us, and we look forward to having you here to learn and grow with us!

Baroque Elevated: Music from the Italian Baroque & some High Baroque Favorites
From Fantini to Leonarda, Manfredini, and Locatelli we’re traversing Italian instrumental Baroque terrain, climbing toward our concert-ending performance of a high Baroque favorite: Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. This concert will be a first in Utah with its inclusion of Baroque trumpets and Baroque bassoon on a program with Baroque winds and harpsichord. Join us as we grow our early music instrumental community!
Soloists include School of Music faculty Lisa Marie Chaufty (recorder and baroque
flute), Pamela Palmer Jones (harpsichord), and Peyden Shelton (baroque trumpet) along
with stellar early music guests Micah Fleming (violin), Joseph Jones (baroque bassoon),
and Dean Oaks (baroque trumpet).
