The recital begins at 7:30 p.
m. Wednesday at Crowder Hall, North Park Avenue and East Speedway. Admission is free; 621-2998.
The UA's annual homage concert to Roy A. Johnson will feature a young organist from South Carolina.
But don't let the fact that
Adam Pajan is a college junior at Furman University lull you into believing he's inexperienced behind the keyboard and in the limelight.
Pajan has clocked in a healthy amount of playing time, including in his newly named post as organist and choirmaster of the 6,900-member St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville — the largest Catholic congregation in South Carolina's upstate area.
Pajan's concert Saturday will feature works by Dietrich Buxtehude, J.
S. Bach and Jean Langlais in the first half and a second half dominated by UA music professor Pamela Decker's Ave Maris Stella.
The Roy A.
Johnson Memorial Organ Concert begins at 7 p.m. Saturday at Holsclaw Hall, North Park Avenue and East Speedway.
Admission is $11, with discounts available; 621-2998.
The University of Arizona Choir will emphasize the arts of its performing arts mission when it performs Saturday at the Tucson Museum of Art.
The ensemble will provide a soundtrack of sorts for the museum's opening of The Virgin, Saints and Angels: South American Paintings 1600-1825 From the Thoma Collection.
The program also double-dips in its mission. It's moonlighting as part of the International Symposium on Latin American Choral Music: Contemporary Performance and the Colonial Legacy. The symposium, which runs today through Sunday on the UA campus, will bring together scholars and musicians from the United States and Latin America interested in the contemporary performance of Colonial-era Latin American music.
The event helps launch the UA School of Music's initiative aimed at this repertoire.
Saturday's concert begins at 3 p.m.
at the museum, 140 N. Main Ave. Admission to the concert is free, with paid museum admission: $8; discounts available.
