California Lutheran University will present a concert marking the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Cellist Joyce Geeting and pianist Christine DeKlotz will present a 9/11 Memorial Concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, in advance of their Sept. 11 performance in Manhattan. They will perform Carol Worthey’s “Elegy,” a work Geeting commissioned as a tribute to those lost in the deadly terrorist attacks. Geeting, an adjunct faculty member at CLU, gave the premiere performance in London in 2003 and has performed the composition in Germany and the United States. She and DeKlotz will give the premiere East Coast performance at the Manhattan concert. At CLU, they will also perform “Vocalise” by Rachmaninoff and Sonata, Opus 78 by Brahms, works of a spiritual and healing nature. Donations will defray the cost of travel to New York.
Concert will take place in the Samuelson Chapel, located south of Olsen Road near Campus Drive on the Thousand Oaks campus. For information, call the Music Department at 805-493-3306 or visit http://www.callutheran.edu.
