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.

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 to anyone who has any interest in music,” Rogers said. “The music will be from all periods from the PHOTO COURTESY OF THE FRIENDS Of Ji Cheryl Parrish, soprano, and Eugene Rowley, pianist,willpeol 18th century to modern popular 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 Concert will also include many pieces of music from around the world, includingcouiti Germany, America, E| France.
