The Kansas Wesleyan Department of Music will hold its first performance of the spring semester Sunday, a solo voice recital by faculty member Anne Gassmann.
The performance gets underway at 2 p.m. Sunday in University United Methodist Church, 1509 S. Santa Fe Avenue, and is open to the public at no charge.
Sunday’s program will include works by Monteverdi, J.S. Bach, Claude Debussy, Leonard Bernstein, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, just to name several. It will also include two duets with soprano Katie Comley, ’22, who now serves as a vocal music director in Scott City.
Gassmann, the director of choral music and voice at KWU, also conducts the Philharmonic Choir and Wesleyan Chorale, in addition to teaching applied voice and vocal-related courses. She continues to perform as both an ensemble member and soloist throughout the Midwest.
Gassmann received her Doctor of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prior to her doctoral work, Gassmann taught middle and high school in the upper Midwest.
