Perez Architecture Center Becomes Venue for Frost Concert
November 14th, 2011 — On Monday, November 28 at 7:30 p.m., the first strains of live music will be heard in the School of Architecture’s Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center Stanley and Jewell Glasgow Lecture Hall. Thanks to the University’s Frost School of Music, an audience of students, faculty, guests and the public will be treated at no charge to Franz Schubert’s Song Cycle Die Schone Mullerin (The Beautiful Miller-Maid). Glasgow Hall’s first live musical concert became a reality through the academic ingenuity and fine ear of Tony Boutté, Frost’s Assistant Professor of Voice, who decided to perform the task of using musical instruments to test the Hall’s acoustics, which were found to be “perfect” without the use of any audio engineering. The evening will begin with Frank Cooper, the narrator and Research Professor of Musicology. The performance will be by Professor Boutté, tenor, and pianist Geoffrey Loff, master’s in music candidate 2012. The event is free and open to the public. Seating will be limited and is first come, first seated.
