'An Encore Collaboration': Doug McConnell & Bill Reyer

Enjoy a celebration of American song on an October afternoon when old friends Dr. Doug McConnell, professor of music and composition, and Dr. Bill Reyer, professor emeritus of English and creative writing, combine their gifts and shared interests in a recital for baritone and piano/accordion.

The community is invited to this encore collaboration at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, in Pancoast Recital Hall, Brenneman Music Hall.

The program will feature favorites from the 1930s, cowboy songs, African American spirituals and two original pieces composed by Doug and based on poetry by Bill.

The concert is free and open to the public.
