Towson University College of Fine Arts Faculty Collaborates for a Kennedy Center Premier Performance
Vincent E. Thomas (Dance Department) and Cecylia Barczyk (Music Department) collaborated in 2007 on a cello composition and dance. The music, ìPrelude and Elergyî was written by the late Gordon Cyr, a former Towson University Music faculty and composer. The collaboration is titled ìRender and Proceedî and looks at the convolution of media on the human spirit and condition. This duet, performed by the two award-winning Towson University COFAC faculty, is part of a larger work titled Witness, which will premier at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage on September 11th and 12th at 6pm. The performances are free and open to the public. The Kennedy Center webcasts live the Millennium Stage performances. If you cannot attend live, please tune in at www.kennedy-center.org.
Vincent E. Thomas was awarded a 2008 Kennedy Center Local Dance Commissioning Project for the creation of Witness.
