Super Bowl Sunday Recital XIII: “Second Acts”
Sunday, February 5, at 3:00 p.m.
The Temple • Freewill Offering
Jan Kraybill, organist
Start your Super Bowl Sunday with a musical celebration of life’s “second acts.” Composers throughout history have reinvented themselves, the musical forms of their times, and the roles of their instruments. Franz Liszt was both a flamboyant composer/performer and a monk; his works transformed the music of the 19th century. Jan Kraybill’s thirteenth annual Super Bowl Sunday concert will explore “second acts” of Liszt and others —and may inspire you to create your own personal transformation!
