South Dakota State University’s School of Performing Arts presents Anna DeGraff, lecturer of music, in a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, in Founders Recital Hall at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center.

The recital, titled “Art Song,” features the work of living composers Libby Larsen and Ashi Day.  Larsen’s songs are based on the life and work of Victorian-era New England painter Mary Cassatt, widely known as one of the “three great ladies” of impressionism. Day’s songs are based on the writings and paintings of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, known for his iconic painting, “The Scream.”

DeGraff will be joined by faculty collaborators Mark Stevens (piano), Bradley Snyder (trombone), Casey Paradies (narration) and Corey Shelsta (lighting and projection).

The recital is free, and the public is invited to attend.
