The Music of Marty Regan - Flowers, Birds, Wind, Moon -

Marty Regan presents a recital of his musical works at Texas A&M University. Guest artists include Yoko Reikano Kimura (koto), Hikaru Tamaki (violoncello), Julia Fox (soprano), and Andrea Imhoff (piano).

The program features the Flowers, Birds, Wind, Moon Suite for koto and violoncello, a series of four works based on core images of nature that recur throughout Japanese literature and the arts. Commissioned and performed by the internationally-acclaimed Duo YUMENO, this performance will mark the Texas premiere of this extended work.

Acclaimed for her “vibrant” tone (Gramophone) and bringing “not only a great sound but high expectations for performance” (Marketing for Orchestras), soprano Julia Fox will present the US premiere of Regan's song cycle Three Poems by Tanikawa Shuntarō (2002) with pianist Andrea Imhoff.
