Ulllman, Carmichael-Bowers present works for guitar and soprano

BRATTLEBORO — On Sunday, Oct. 20, at 3 p.m., the Brattleboro Music Center presents a recital with faculty members Richard Ullman, guitar, and guest Kristen Carmichael-Bowers, voice, at Centre Congregational Church, 193 Main St.

For this recital, Ullman revisits some of his favorite pieces from Spanish composer Andrés Segovia's repertoire. Segovia, considered the father of modern classical guitar, is credited with popularizing classical guitar music.

Also on the program, Carmichael-Bowers joins Ullman for the performance of several beautiful English folksongs; an American spiritual arranged by Ullman; some lively Spanish folksongs arranged by Garcia Lorca; and additional works by DeVissee, Scarlatti, Murcia, and Albeniz.

In addition to teaching at the Brattleboro Music Center, Ullman is on the music faculty at Castleton State College. He has performed widely and has taught at Tufts, Sarah Lawrence, Concordia, Central Connecticut State, and Green Mountain College.

In addition to teaching at the Brattleboro Music Center, Carmichael-Bowers is on the faculty of both The Putney School and Northern Stage.
