About the Program
The Sounds of Place takes its title from the work of esteemed musicologist Dr. Denise Von Glahn. Inspired by her exploration of music and place, the program considers the unique ways physical environments and aural experiences intersect, shape one another, and influence how we hear the world around us.
The program features guest trumpet soloist Alexander Lenhart (BS Music Education, CWRU ’21; MM Trumpet Performance, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music ’23), a member of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division Band.
