Heukeshoven plays Heukeshoven at music festival

Dr. Janet Heukeshoven will give a lecture/performance on “Three Diverse Fantasies for Solo Piccolo” as part of the annual New Music Festival on Thursday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m. in the Annette Recital Hall on the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse campus.

The “Three Diverse Fantasies” were written by Assistant Professor A. Eric Heukeshoven shortly after the couple’s wedding in 1978. Each movement represents a different approach both in composition and playing techniques. The work received its premiere at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis as part of a Minnesota Composers Forum concert March 22, 1980 where it was performed by the composer’s wife.

The La Crosse New Music Festival is open to the public and there is no admission charge.
