BETHANY STUDENT TO GIVE NYCKELHARPA CONCERT
Bethany College student Benjamin Lagerberg-Teitelbaum will perform a concert on the nyckelharpa, a Swedish folk instrument, on Saturday, October 14, at 8:30 p.m. in Presser Hall Auditorium.
The concert is free and open to the public.
The program will include a wide array of traditional Swedish music highlighting the diversity and rhythmic complexity of the Swedish folk genre.
Lagerberg-Teitelbaum also will perform baroque music adapted by him for the nyckelharpa from violin works. He will perform Bach’s Cacone from the Dm partita for solo violin, in what will probably be the first performance ever of this work on a nyckelharpa.
Earlier in the evening, Lagerberg-Teitelbaum will perform at the All-Alumni Gala Banquet to be held in Pihlblad Memorial Union Cafeteria.
Lagerberg-Teitelbaum is a senior music major from Castle Rock, Colorado. He has studied at the Eric Sahlström Institute for folk music in Sweden, the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and researched ethnic music as an intern at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
In the spring of 2007, he will become the first nyckelharpa performance major to graduate in North America.
Bethany College, established by Swedish Lutheran immigrants in 1881, is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The mission of Bethany College is to nurture and challenge individuals in their search for truth and meaning as they live lives of faith, learning and service.
