Sometimes, it just happens...a lot of performances pile up on the same day. This Sunday, February 20, is one of those days. Here's the day in a nutshell.
At 4 p.m., the Knoxville Early Music Project (KEMP) makes an appearance in the Chapel at First Presbyterian Church on State Street in Downtown Knoxville. Their program focuses on music by early Italian Baroque composers. The performers include Maria Rist, soprano; Terryl Oliver, alto; John Tilson, tenor; Matt Sharp, bass; Mary Ann Fennell, violin; Elizabeth Farr, violin; Thomas Tallant, theorbo;Ann Stierli, bass viol; and Ashley Burell, harpsichord and portative organ. The concert is free and open to the public. A reception in the Parlor follows.
At 7 p.m., First Baptist Church, on Main Street in Downtown Knoxville, will host a recital by organist Colin Howland. Howland is Director of Music and Arts at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas, where he plays organ for services and concerts and oversees a comprehensive music program.
An innovator in organ performance, he is also a founding member of the Philadelphia Organ Quartet. That unique ensemble arranges music for four organs and performs concerts across the U.S. each year.
