Music from France – Marshall School of Music

The Marshall University School of Music will present “Music from France,” featuring faculty trombonist Dr. Michael Stroeher and faculty pianist Dr. Johan Botes. The recital begins at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, in Smith Recital Hall.

They will perform an all-French program, including music from Henri Tomasi, Darius Milhaud and Camille Saint-Saens.

“This music should appeal to almost everybody,” Stroeher said. “Tomasi and Milhaud were very much influenced by American jazz — Tomasi, especially, by Tommy Dorsey — and the Saint-Saens is a light piece of Romantic ear-candy.”

The recital is free and open to all.
