Two members of Wartburg College’s music faculty will present “Winterreisse” by Franz Schubert during the Castle Chamber Series concert Sunday, Jan. 12.
Brian Pfaltzgraff, voice, and Ted Reuter, piano, will perform in the second concert of the Castle Chamber Series season, which features some of the finest Cedar Valley musicians and guest artists. The concerts tear down the “fourth wall,” allowing for audience discussions with the musicians during and after the performances.
The hourlong concerts, starting at 2 p.m. in the Hagemann Castle Room in Saemann Student Center, are $5 and free for students with their ID.
Pfaltzgraff, an associate professor of music at Wartburg, has performed in more than 30 leading operatic roles and a wider range of concert works. He appears regularly with Union Avenue Opera in St. Louis and also has been featured with the Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the St. Louis Masterworks Chorale, Toledo Opera, the Detroit Symphony and the Des Moines Metro Opera.
Reuter, a professor of piano, has extensive experience as a performer and has given solo and chamber music recitals at colleges and in artist series throughout the Midwest, Texas and Idaho.
The remaining series concerts will be:
- A solo recital by University of Northern Iowa pianist Sean Botkin, March 2.
- Wartburg faculty member Eric Wachmann, clarinet; UNI faculty cellist Suzanne Bullard and Botkin performing chamber works, April 13.
