Some of Northeast Iowa’s finest musicians will be featured in the next concert of the Castle Chamber Series: Music in the Afternoon at Wartburg College Sunday, Jan. 27.

“Schubertiade,” a program of music for voice and piano, will be performed at 2 p.m. in the college’s Castle Room in Saemann Student Center, inspired by gatherings of friends of 19th century Viennese composer Franz Schubert to celebrate his music.

The “voices” will be Gary Moss, Luther College professor of voice, and Wartburg counterpart Jennifer Larson. They will be joined by Wartburg pianists Suzanne Torkelson and Ted Reuter and clarinetist Eric Wachmann in a diverse program of lieder that captures the breadth of Schubert’s witty trios to sublime settings of great poems.

This is the second in a series of four concerts reminiscent of intimate 19th century gatherings, when friends would listen to music and discuss it with the performers.

Two other concerts are scheduled:

  • Feb. 17 — Pianist Sean Botkin will lead a program of chamber and solo works.
  • March 10 — Trio 826, a string trio led by University of Northern Iowa professor and Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony violist Julia Bullard, will perform.

All Castle Chamber Series concerts begin at 2 p.m. Admission is $5 and tickets are available at the door. Students with valid ID are admitted free of charge.
