Voice professor performs new music by guest composer

Submitted by Amy Rosine

Amy Rosine, associate professor in the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, performed music commissioned from composer Gwyneth Walker at the Central Regional Conference of the College Music Society in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 2. 

Rosine is a member of the Sorores Duo, a soprano and clarinet duet group, that commissioned two song cycles from Walker: "Emily! (from New England)," set to the poetry of Emily Dickenson; and "No Ordinary Woman!" to the poetry of African American poet Lucille Clifton. "Emily!" premiered at K-State on March 21 at the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance gala of the composer's works, and "No Ordinary Woman!" will premiere in June at the International Clarinet Conference in Reno, Nevada.
