On Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 7:30 pm AKT Emmanuel Aguilar will perform his Alto Saxophone Junior Recital in the Davis Concert Hall with Lorna Eder on piano!. The Recital will be Live Streamed on the UAF Music Department Facebook page. Emmanuel is a Music Education Major, he hopes to one day teach high school music classes. Emmanuel made the switch to Alto Saxophone from clarinet in middle school when his instructor asked him if he wanted to make the change.
He will be performing works by: Jean-Philippe Rameau, Paul Creston, Charles Koechlin, Eugene Bozza, and Paul Hindemith. This recital is in partial fulfillment of Emmanuel's degree and has been prepared under the direction of Steve Kennedy. Emmanuel is most looking forward to playing the Paul Creston Sonata, which he says is going to be the most challenging piece as well. He is excited to show the growth he has made as a performer as well.
