Kyle Dillingham & Horseshoe Road plan home-state performances today and Friday before American Music Abroad tour
Before heading out on a U.S. Department of State-sponsored world tour, University of Central Oklahoma Ambassador in Residence and renowned violinist Kyle Dillingham is planning two home-state performances: this afternoon in Edmond and at noon Friday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
Dillingham will give an exclusive High Tea Concert from 3 to 5 p.m. today at UCO at the International House, 912 Chowning Ave. in Edmond.
Modeled after the traditional Taiwanese High Tea ceremony, music fans are invited to come enjoy a cup of high mountain tea and light snacks from 3 to 4 p.m., then hear a world-class performance from 4 to 5 p.m.
Admission is free to all UCO students, faculty members, staff, and the public, but reservations are required due to limited seating.
To make reservations, contact Alvin Teh, International House manger by email at ihouse@uco.edu.
Dillingham and fellow Horseshoe Road band member Brent Saulsbury will perform this afternoon what the band will share with the world, including a performance of Callen Clarke’s specially commissioned arrangement of a traditional Taiwanese song, which they’ll perform with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra while in Taiwan. The afternoon wouldn’t be complete without favorite Horseshoe Road tunes like “Faded Love” and “Orange Blossom Special.”
As a special guest, UCO pianist and Taiwanese native, Ivan Wong, will join Dillingham today for some of the Taiwanese repertoire, as well as some Horseshoe Road favorites.
The exclusive High Tea event is sponsored by TAP Architecture, the Sovereignty Symposium, University of Central Oklahoma Centre for Global Competency, BancFirst, Inter-City Violin Studios and Glasser Bows.
