Explore the vast
world of lyrical music through the baritone voice of Myles K. Glancy, delving
into Baroque, Romantic, Contemporary, and Musical Theater genres. This two-part recital will take place
in Old Cabell Hall at the University of Virginia on Tuesday, March 18,
2008. The event will start
promptly at 8:00pm and will last a little over one hour, with a 15-minute
intermission.
During
his performance, Glancy will share his interpretation of works by such
paramount classical composers as J.S. Bach, Johannes Brahms, Charles Ives, and
Samuel Barber, appreciating their portrayal of the perfect fusion of text and
music. Additionally, he will
perform various musical theater tunes written by acclaimed theatrical
composers, including songs from The Last 5 Years (Jason Robert Brown), The Scarlet Pimpernel (Frank Wildhorn), and Children of Eden (Stephen Schwartz).
Program
Glancy, a vocalist
trained in classical and theatrical genres, is originally from Richmond, VA,
where he worked with teacher Sherri A. Matthews while participating in theater
both at a high school level (Mills E. Godwin H.S.) as well as a professional
level (Godspell, Barksdale Theater,
2005). Now attending the
University of Virginia, Glancy has
been studying voice with Edmund Najera for more than three years, and his
recital will serve as a summary of his strongest accomplishments during his
time with Najera. Glancy has also performed
locally with the UVA Drama Department (Songs for a New World, 2008) and the Ash Lawn Opera Festival (Sound of
Music, 2007). Glancy’s plans for the future include
attending graduate while keeping music as a primary hobby and devoted passion.
This recital is
supported by the Charles S. Roberts Scholarship Fund. Established in 2004 by
the generosity of Mr. Alan Y. Roberts ('64) and Mrs. Sally G. Roberts, the
Charles S. Roberts Scholarship Fund underwrites the private lessons and recital
costs for undergraduate music majors giving a recital in their fourth year as
part of a distinguished major program in music.
