Winterreise, Franz Schubert, An Immersive Concert Experience: Dr. Aaron Agulay, baritone, Dr. Yoon-Wha Roh, piano
About the event
Friday, January 28th at 7:30pm, Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center (405 SE Spokane St., Pullman, WA, 99164) will present an immersive performance of Franz Schubert’s landmark song cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey).
Made possible through collaboration between WSU’s Division of Student Affairs, School of Music, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life, Academic Outreach and Innovation/Global Connections, and International Students’ Council, this immersive performance will feature WSU faculty Dr. Aaron Agulay (baritone), Dr. Yoon-Wha Roh (piano), and the artwork of Walla-Walla based artist Keiko Hara.
This type of performance will be the first of its kind on the WSU campus and will kick off a series of cultural events that amplify the work of local artists and support a more welcoming WSU campus culture and climate. The performance will be followed by an artist meet and greet and hors d’ouevres from Sushi Man Moscow.
