Winfield, Kan., March 19, 2004 — Pianist Gloria Tham will return to her alma mater when she presents a recital at Southwestern College Tuesday, April 13. The free concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Messenger Recital Hall of Darbeth Fine Arts Center.
Tham has chosen a varied program for the evening including Bach’s “Italian Concerto,” Beethoven’s “Pastorale Sonata,” and Grieg’s “Holberg Suite for Piano.” The recital also will explore the use of Chinese music by Western composers and Chinese music for Western instruments. Two pieces are based on the Chinese folksong “Jasmine Flower” by Percy Grainger and Anton Arensky. The recital will close with “The Moon Reflected Over Second Springs,” Chu Wanghua's piano transcription of a Chinese erhu piece by blind Chinese composer Abing.
Born in Kampar, Malaysia, Tham started piano lessons at age five. She graduated from Southwestern summa cum laude in 2002, with a degree in piano performance. Her teacher was Tim Shook. She holds the Performer's Certificate in Piano from Trinity College – London.
Following a year of graduate work at Kansas State University as a student of Virginia Houser, Tham now is a graduate teaching assistant at Wichita State University. She is pursuing a master of music degree in piano performance, studying under Andrew Trechak. Tham’s duties at WSU include teaching applied piano and class piano. She is state secretary for the Student Music Teacher's Association and is active as both accompanist and in music ministry.
In addition to her Southwestern College recital, Tham will perform at Emporia State University (lecture/performance), College Avenue United Methodist Church in Manhattan (recital), and at Cowley County Community College (lecture/performance). She will present her graduate recital April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in Wiedemann Recital Hall on the campus of Wichita State University. All performances are free and open to the public.
