Five Music Performances This Week in Cedar Falls

The University of Northern Iowa School of Music has a music performance literally every day this week, most of them free. These are the things that make living in a university town so great – why not take advantage? Also, consider this the antidote to Rock of Ages, which pumped great but decidedly less high-brow ’80s music onto campus Friday.

Here’s the rundown of the week’s musical offerings, and you can get more details at the UNI School of Music’s website.

1. Monday: UNI Suzuki School Youth Orchestra concert. 7:30 p.m., Bengtson Auditorium, Russell Hall, free.

2. Tuesday: UNI School of Music faculty artist Randy Grabowski will present a trumpet recital with Sean Botkin, piano. 7:30 p.m., Bengtson Auditorium, Russell Hall, free.

3. Wednesday: Graduate music student Oxana Khramova will present a degree piano recital. 8 p.m., Davis Hall, Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, free.

4. Thursday: Visiting artist Ricardo Rapoport, bassoon, will present a recital. 8 p.m., Davis Hall, Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, free.

5. Friday: In case you haven’t gotten enough free classical music this week, here’s some opera. Mozart’s The Magic Flute will be presented by UNI opera students and the Northern Iowa Symphony Orchestra. 7:30 p.m. Friday, Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, tickets $15 to $30.
