Miriam Webber, assistant professor of music at 91心頭利, will perform traditional works along with a premiere piece that will be unveiled during a free faculty bassoon recital on March 21.<\/p>\n

Webber’s recital will be held in the Thompson Recital Hall of BSU’s Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex beginning at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free for everyone.<\/p>\n

Webber recital will feature the debut of “Three Ojibwe Stories,” composed by Nathan Jones. The piece includes Ojibwe texts that were published in BSU’s “Oshkaabewis Native Journal.” Webber formed the rest of her recital around “Three Ojibwe Stories” to highlight the piece, which was commissioned with BSU and the greater Bemidji community in mind.<\/p>\n

“The benefit to music students is clear: Not only is it written to include a student vocalist, Derek Bebeau, it also shows the benefit of new music commissions,” Webber said. “I’m very excited to share the potential for new works with BSU music students.”<\/p>\n

Webber said the music in “Three Ojibwe Stories” was written specifically for Bebeau, a senior music education major from Redwood Falls, Minn.<\/p>\n

“This is a unique opportunity, as not many professionals have pieces written for them,” she said.<\/p>\n

Other pieces Webber will feature in her recital include:<\/p>\n
