Wimberly Recital Hall, Presser Hall
Korean-American jazz pianist and composer Alfred Yun'15 is influenced by his upbringing in both the United States and Korea, with musical connections ranging from jazz, hip hop, and K-Pop to traditional Korean music. Among Yun's recent accomplishments, he was honored to be chosen by the Music Center At Strathmore as an Artist-in-Residence for the 2023-2024 season, and his latest album, Voice and Phenomenon, explores the relationship between love and violence. Voice and Phenomenon was rewarded by the New Music Creator Fund as July’s Grantee of the Month and featured by Bandcamp’s Artist Spotlight on Reddit. Yun has performed works from this album at The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage as well as the legendary Blues Alley in Washington, D.C. This concert will feature works from this album, which uses the voice in varying forms -- gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, rap, laughter, and more -- to invite the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices, sounds, and experiences. Admission is free.7 - Sat^9 a.m.Men's Wrestling ODAC Duals

Wimberly Recital Hall, Presser Hall
Hints of acoustic pop soulful folk, infused with strong undertones of jazz illuminate the ChamberSoul™ musical stories woven by cellist/singer-songwriter Shana Tucker. Touted by JazzTimes Magazine as “a jazz talent...whose imprint and vitality has already been quite visible...” Shana’s style and sound have been described as a curious mash-up of Joni Mitchell, Dianne Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald and Tracy Chapman, with an efficient complexity of songwriting reminiscent of Bill Withers. Following the release and promotion of her debut CD, SHiNE (MamaGooch Music), a radio interview on NPR led to an invitation to join the musical cast of KÀ by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, where Shana remained for 5 years before returning to a full-time schedule of performing, recording, collaborating on an international level. A committed arts education advocate, Shana is also a sought-after teaching artist, frequently presenting workshops and artist-in-residences in schools and communities across the country, for people of all ages and abilities, students and teachers and aspiring teaching artists alike.22 - Sun^9 p.m.STUNT
