Dr. Peggy Holloway will lead a discussion and perform the composer’s work

Dr. Peggy Holloway, assistant professor of music, will present a lecture/recital at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21 in Dana College’s Trinity Chapel. The topic will be “The Art Songs of Marion Bauer.”

Bauer, who lived between 1882 and 1955, was the subject of Holloway’s doctoral dissertation and remains a continuing area of scholarly research. Holloway contributed the biographical information on Bauer to the series Women Composers: Music Through the Ages, which included Holloway’s editions of six of Bauer’s previously unpublished songs.

In July, Holloway joined Dr. David King, pianist, and Dr. Janet Morrow King, mezzo-soprano, both of Colorado State University, to record 28 art songs by Marion Bauer. The recording sessions took place at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Holloway is currently working with Leonarda Records to master and produce a compact disc on the Leonarda label.

Holloway’s lecture/recital will include a discussion of the fascinating life and work of Marion Bauer and a performance of representative songs from the new compact disc. Clare Cowing, campus accompanist, will be the pianist for this event.

The event is free and the public is warmly invited to attend.
