In the second installment of Meadows’ Faculty Artist and Distinguished Alumni Recital Series, SMU presents decorated concert pianists Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung, alongside Dallas Symphony percussionists Douglas Howard and Brian Jones. Lutoslawski’s Variations on a Theme by Paganini opens the program, followed by Bartok’s fascinating, but peculiar, Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion. In an exciting turn, the latter sees the four musicians play seven different instruments (bass drum, timpani, cymbals, triangle, snare drum, gong and xylophone). Next, is Debussy’s masterful En blanc et noir (“In Black and White”), which was, in part, composed in memory of his friend Jacques Charlot, a casualty World War I. Ravel’s much-discussed deconstruction of the waltz, La Valse, serves as the concert’s closer. October 5 at SMU’s Caruth Auditorium is the only performance. Tickets are $7 to $13.
