About this Event
Reena Esmail, guest composer-in-residence
Gala Closing Concert: Friday, Feb. 28, 7:30 p.m.
DePauw University Green Center, Kresge Auditorium
The DePauw Institute of Music is honored to host Reena Esmail, the Los Angeles Master Chorale’s 2020–2025 Swan Family Artist in Residence, for its Music of the 21st Century Composer Residency. Described as “vivacious,” “evocative,” and “marvelously lyrical,” Esmail's work explores the worlds between Indian and Western classical music.
Friday’s Gala Closing Concert at the Green Center will cap three days of student engagement with the guest composer and feature musically varied solo, chamber, and large ensemble pieces. Highlights include a recent arrangement of Esmail’s popular Tuttarana for concert band, the Quarantine Madrigals sung by students of Janani Sridhar, and May Phang’s rendition of Rang de Basant for solo piano.
Tickets to this free concert are made possible through the generosity of Robert A. ’69 and Margaret Sheridan Schmidt ’69.
