Brigham Young University School of Music vocal faculty member Ruth Christensen will be performing Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m. in the Madsen Recital Hall.

The event is free, and those 8 years of age and older are invited to attend.

Christensen’s recital, “Dreams of Childhood,” will feature the music and poetry of childhood as imagined by composers such as Johannes Brahms, Benjamin Britten and Erik Satie. Two works by Charis Bean Duke will also be premiered.

She will be accompanied by Jayne Galloway, piano, and assisted by faculty artists Diane Thueson Reich, soprano, and April Clayton, flute.
