The Kilgore College Department of Music will present its annual Masterworks Concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, in Van Cliburn Auditorium.
The performance will feature KC choirs and the KC Wind Symphony, highlighted by a presentation of A Silence Haunts Me by composer Jake Runestad. The concert is free and open to the public.
Under the direction of choir director Peter Cunningham and band director Derrick Logozzo, the program will feature collaborative performances by student musicians from the college’s vocal and instrumental ensembles in a large-scale concert setting.
“This concert brings together all of our student performers for a powerful and memorable evening of music,” Cunningham said. “Jake Runestad’s A Silence Haunts Me is inspired by Beethoven’s hearing loss and uses quotations from the classical composer’s well-known Moonlight Sonata. Through sound and silence, the audience will experience Beethoven’s despair and turmoil, as well as his ultimate resolve to persevere despite his affliction.”
