\nThe idea of the concert\u2019s format is borrowed from the world of visual arts, where a collage represents a single vision made up of a variety of contrasting pieces. The \u201cMusic Faculty Collage\u201d will feature performances by Susan Thomas, Margaret Frazier, Manabu Takasawa, Susan Robison, Mark Conley, and Michelle Beaton, in a fast-paced concert of approximately one hour, uninterrupted by applause between pieces and without an intermission. <\/p>\n


\nFlutist Susan Thomas will perform Suite for Solo Flute, by Rhode Island composer Richard Cumming, who is known locally for his work with the Trinity Repertory Theater Company. Soprano Margaret Frazier will perform A Suite O Bairnsangs by Thea Musgrave (b. 1953), five short songs on poems by Maurice Lindsay, accompanied by Manabu Takasawa on piano. In addition, Frazier will sing “Schweight, ihr Fl\u00f6ten, schweight, ihr T\u00f6ne” from Cantata No. 210 by Johann Sebastian Bach(1685 – 1750), with accompaniment by Susan Thomas, flute, and Michelle Beaton, piano. Manabu Takasawa will perform Stone Gate by Yoshihiro Kanno, a piece Takasawa commissioned and premiered in Tokyo in 2003.<\/p>\n


\nThe program will also include Susan Robison, cello, performing Hungarian Rhapsody by David Popper, accompanied by Manabu Takasawa, piano, as well as performances by tenor Mark Conley and Michelle Beaton, piano.<\/p>\n


\nManabu Takasawa is an international artist who recently performed in the Czech Republic, Italy, United Kingdom and Japan. He is also the creator and director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Piano Extravaganza!, an annual festival of concerts and a competition for young pianists in southern New England. Margaret Frazier is a noted performer and recording artist who tours with the Boston Camerata, and cellist Susan Robison is a member of the faculty at The Hartt School in Connecticut. <\/p>\n
