Fall Faculty Concert
Jazz, Baroque, folk, and modern collide in a boundary-blurring musical odyssey.
The Music Department Faculty at Wellesley College has some of the finest performers in the area, and we are proud to showcase them in the eagerly anticipated semi-annual concert. Our vibrant performance faculty is multifaceted, many of whom regularly perform with acclaimed Boston-area ensembles, maintain private teaching studios, hold positions at esteemed conservatories, direct summer music festivals, and participate in recording projects.
For the Fall 2025 Faculty Concert, we invite you to experience a genre-defying journey through sound where Claude Bolling’s jazzy flair meets Guy Klucevsek’s avant-garde accordion, John Dowland’s lute songs echo beside a Baroque bassoon sonata by Besozzi, Hindemith’s oboe sings with Sibelius’s Nordic soul, Emi Nishida’s contemporary piano shimmers, and Ginastera’s Pampeana ignites it all with fiery passion.
