Wilmington, N.C. – Barry David Salwen, associate professor of music at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, will perform at Cape Fear Community College’s North Campus at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12. Salwen will play a piano accompaniment while CFCC music teacher Sara Graham Westermark, a soprano, sings.
The music of Handel, Vivaldi, Bellini, Verdi, Rossini, Resphigi, Puccini, Mozart and Ferreri will be played.
Salwen is an international concert pianist; in 2002 he received a Fulbright Scholars grant to give a seminar on American music at the conservatory in Freiburg, Germany. Salwen released the first complete recording of American composer Roger Sessions’ piano music; he is the first artist to record all of these works.
Westermark teaches music at CFCC and choir at New Horizons Elementary School. She also performs with the UNCW Concert Choir, the southeastern Oratorio Society, the Wilmington Oratorio Society, the American Guild of Organists and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Countertenor Leif Westermark, who was the alto soloist with the UNCW choir’s performance of St. John Passion by J.S. Bach in 2002, will also perform. Other guests include UNCW instructor Richard Thomas, cello; Daniel Rice, trombone; and Lorraine Greenfield Westermark, violin.
