Musical Highlights for September
by Adam P. Schweigert
 In September, WFIU is pleased to feature the musical efforts of Venezuelan conductor and IU faculty member Carmen Téllez.
Prof. Téllez was born in Caracas and completed studies in piano and composition in her native city before traveling to the United States, where she received a Doctoral degree in choral conducting from Indiana University in 1988. Since then, she has conducted around the world, giving special emphasis to contemporary and Latin American repertoire.
Currently on the choral conducting faculty at the Indiana University School of Music, Téllez directs the Contemporary Vocal Ensemble and teaches graduate conducting courses.
This month, join us for four performances led by Téllez:
- We start off the month on Thursday, September 1st, at 7:07 p.m. with an excerpt from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in a performance by the IU University Singers and Chamber Orchestra.
- On Tuesday, September 6th, at 11:13 p.m. we turn to a work by a composer Téllez has championed, Mario Lavista’s Missa Ad Consolationis Dominam Nostram in a performance by the Aguava New Music Ensemble.
- On Thursday, September 22, at 7:07 p.m., be sure to tune in and hear the IU Contemporary Vocal Ensemble perform the Three Nocturnes of Carlos Chavez.
- We wrap up the month with music of local composer Cary Boyce— his Ave Maria, with the IU Contemporary Vocal Ensemble and the Aguava New Music Ensemble, all under the direction of Carmen Téllez, Saturday, September 24th, at 12:09 p.m.
