Soprano singer and pianist travel to A&M as part of concert
BY HINA PATEL

T he pristine voice of the opera
singer fills the air as the audi
ence listens intently. Al
though the opera may be in French
or Italian, the emotion is conveyed
in the same medium — music.
The Friends of Chamber Music,
the support organization for com
munity chamber concerts, are pre
senting a free concert on Thursday
7:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian
Church.
The Friends of Chamber Music
sponsor community chamber con
certs, which are free for the public.
William Rogers, member of the
Friends of Chamber Music and a re
search scientist for the chemical en
gineering department, said cham
ber music can be defined as a small
intimate setting between the musi
cian and the audience.
“It is music that can be played in
a room,” he said. “It allows you to
feel closer to the musician. It is just
a few instruments like the violin,
the piano, the harpsichord and is
usually played in a trio. Now it
refers to classical music, but it is not
just Mozart or Beethoven.
“It is serious music that lasts
through the ages and it represents
all cultures. You could say this
about the popular music of our
time, but we don’t know if this mu
sic will last. It has to pass through
the test of time.”
Rogers said chamber music is
important for the education of all
students it teaches the cultural his
tory of society.
“It is about developing the re
sources of the earth and the knowl
edge of our human experience,” he
said. “The arts are important be
cause they show the basic human
values. Music education enriches
“Our mission statement is to
bring the music to the people,” he
said. “When I went to school we
had music all the time. However,
now you have to look for it because
there are so few opportunities.
“This is one of the best opportu
nities students will have to experi
ence chamber music. We try to
reach into the community by doing
lectures and workshop with the
musicians who come for the con-

“It is serious music that lasts

all cultures. You could say this
about the popular music of our
time, but we don’t know if this mu
sic will last. It has to pass through
the test of time.”
The chamber music concert will
feature soloist Cheryl Parrish and
pianist Eugene Rowley, who cur
rently teaches at The University of
Texas.
Rowley has appeared as a recital
ist, concerto soloist and in chamber
music performances with many of
the world’s leading musicians.
Soprano Cheryl Parrish has per
formed in many operas, including
the New York City Opera and the
Zurich Opera.
“People who liked the Metropol
itan Opera Council Competition
winner Emily Pulley will appreciate
Cheryl Parrish who also won the
National award,” Rogers said.
There will also be a free work
shop by Parrish and Rowley today
in Harrington Education Center
from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.
“We are trying to bring the mu
sic to the people, that’s why the
concerts and the workshops are
free,” Rogers said. “It is important
to express oneself in the arts — it is
very enjoyable.”
Rogers said the workshop will
stress piano and vocals.
“The workshops will focus on
basic singing and accompaniments.
In other words: voice,” he said.
“The instructor will select works
that will be presented in concert.
“The concert will he interesting

music,” Rogers said. “The music

“Music speaks to us today just as
it did in centuries past, after all hu
mans are essentially the same now
as they were in the 18th century."
“In the past, music was solely
chamber music, there were not any
100 piece orchestras. Then, with
time, orchestras came about but did
not replace the small groups of en
sembles,” Rogers said. “Even with
the development of a variety of in
struments and orchestras, small
chamber music groups were still
prominent.”
“With each new generation of
people, there are new tastes of mu
sic, each of which has something to
teach us,”
Rogers said the Chamber Music
