Mostly Mondays continues with a presentation from Dr. Valerie Goertzen.

The talk focuses on a pocket-sized tour book prepared by one of the first professional concert agents in Europe for the world-class violinist Joseph Joachim (1831–1907). The itinerary paints Joachim’s life on tour as a succession of highly focussed vignettes, a series of instructive choices that shed light on his biography and, more generally, on the changing status of artists in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Event is free and open to the public.  

Chicago based musicians Ben Lamar Gay (voice, cornet, electronics) and Ayanna Woods (voice, bass, electronics) are joined by Loyola faculty members Jeff Albert (trombone and electronics) and Alexandria Smith (trumpet and electronics) for a concert of technologically mediated improvisations. Presented in conjunction with the Instigation Festival.

Event is free and open to the public. Loyola adheres to all City of New Orleans guidelines regarding COVID-19 and indoor music venues.

"Opera Connects" is a new artistic partnership between the opera programs of Loyola University New Orleans and Xavier University of Louisiana. Both schools have made substantial contributions to the distinguished operatic legacy of our city. The inaugural concert will take place in February 2022, and will showcase faculty and students from the two institutions in performance of vocal music by three centuries of Black composers. The program will feature art song, folk and political songs, and spiritual arrangements, with texts drawn from major writers such as Margaret Atwood, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Edna St. Vincent Millay, James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes. Givonna Joseph, founder of OperaCréole, will offer insightful commentary and historical context.

Free and open to the public, this concert will take place at Loyola in Nunemaker Auditorium. Watch for the next concert in the series in Fall 2022 at Xavier's Blanche Francis Music Building Recital Hall! 

Graduate recital featuring Sofia Riggio, soprano.
