QuotePULLMAN, Wash. - Seven faculty members will collaborate on a varied collection of works originally written for other instruments or voices during the Washington State University Faculty Artist Series concert at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, in Bryan Hall Theatre.

"Borrowing from Our Friends" will include Shannon Scott, clarinet, playing "Daley's Arc," a modern piece with musical references to 1950s rock, and the ensemble En Chamade (David Turnbull, trumpet, and Jill Schneider, organ) performing baroque and romantic works. Schneider will play the Bryan Hall Schantz pipe organ.

Also featured will be Dave Snider on bass, Chris Dickey on euphonium and Ann Yasinitsky on flute with Gerald Berthiaume on piano. Faculty favorites to be performed include Barber's "Adagio for Strings," the Franck "Sonata in A Major" and two pieces from Handel's "Water Music."

Proceeds from ticket sales benefit the School of Music Scholarship Fund. Tickets, on sale one hour before performances in the Bryan Hall lobby, cost $10 general admission, $5 senior citizens 60 and older and non-WSU students, and free for WSU students with ID.
