House concert on Sept. 22
Lincoln pianist and music therapist Trevor Berens is organizing a house concert in Lincoln on Friday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. The music will include solo piano music by Lincoln resident Richard Cornell (Lutine Bell), Toru Takemitsu’s crystalline Rain Tree Sketch II, and the “Thoreau” movement from Charles Ives’s iconic Concord Sonata. The second half features soprano Jessica Berens performing her husband Berens’s song cycle Pomes Penyeach (based on the poetry of James Joyce) and Lazarus by French composer Jacques Burtin, and written for the couple.
Tickets are $12 at the door, and light refreshments will be served. Proceeds will help defray concert expenses and benfit future recordings by the Sonic Liberation Players, a nine-member musical group that includes Berens and Tunick that “investigates the area between ‘academic/intellectual’ and ‘pop-influenced’ classical,” according to its website.
