Last chance to purchase your tickets to tonight's Sonata-Sonatina Festival Guest Recital featuring pianist Jooeun Pak! Internationally acclaimed pianist Jooeun Pak presents an evening devoted to three of the piano repertoire’s most iconic sonatas. The program highlights the form’s evolution across the Classical and Romantic eras: Haydn’s radiant Sonata in C Major, Hob. XVI:50, Beethoven’s dramatic and beloved “Pathétique” Sonata, Op. 13, and Schubert’s monumental “Wanderer Fantasy,” often regarded as a sonata in disguise. This recital offers listeners the chance to experience Pak’s artistry in a program that traces the expressive range, structural brilliance, and enduring power of the piano sonata.

Opening tonight, the Department of Theatre presents "The Moors" in the Madden Theatre! In a contemporary reinvention of Charlotte Brontë, two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility. *This play contains mature themes and violence.
