Henry Samra

Junior Recital

My junior recital will be presented tomorrow, Sunday November 23rd, at 7:30 pm EST in Stull Recital Hall. The first third of the program will feature some new and existing accordion + electronics works I’ve been working on. I’ll also be playing my piece Calumet for vibraphone and tape, as well as presenting the fifth and final installment of my Drumset Trombone saga. The program will run around 30-35 minutes without a break.

Thanks to Charley Davis and the rest of the folks at SLSA for doing lights for this event.
