  • Faculty Recital: Dr. Paul Hindemith, baritone, and Dr. Nathanael May, piano, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, Potter Hall Theater. Dr. Hindemith’s professional career has taken him from coast to coast and overseas performing opera, oratorio, operetta, musical theatre, and art song. Hailed as “touching and expressive” by the Washington Times and as “vocally and theatrically sturdy” by the Baltimore Sun, the baritone has performed with the Minnesota Orchestra; the San Diego, Utah Festival, Ohio Light, Skylark, and Fargo-Moorhead Operas; and theatre companies like Theatre Latté Da in Minneapolis and the Robidoux Resident Theatre in Saint Joseph. He is director of vocal studies at Missouri Western. As a festival producer, concert organizer, recording artist, consultant, educator, and pianist, Dr. May seeks to engage audiences with music of the modern era. Noted for ‘quicksilver grace’ (Fanfare) and ‘highly developed, extremely differentiated touch and sound’ (Fuldaer Zeitung), he has performed on three continents and was named the 2012 Winner of the American Prize in recorded solo piano performance. He is associate professor of music at Missouri Western.
