Aug 1, 2008 Keyboard
Dr. Hynes is a guest artist with the Summerfest chamber music series this weekend, Saturday, August 2 at 7pm in White Recital Hall, UMKC and Sunday, August 3 at St. Mary’s Episcopal church which is in downtown KC (13th and Holmes). In the final weekend of programs, August 2 and 3, Summerfest premiers a brand new work for woodwinds and string quartet by the gifted young composer Kristin Kuster. This work is inspired by Kansas City’s own artistic masterpiece, ‘Pax Mundi’, a sculpture by Brent Collins which is on display at the new H&R Block headquarters downtown. Also on the program is Aaron Copland’s Quiet City for trumpet, English horn, and strings and Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Septet. Trumpet calls meet classical elegance in this dazzling work for winds, strings, and piano.
