UW Music Faculty Recital Series presents Magdalena Wór, mezzo-soprano, Glesse Collet, viola, and Theresa Bogard, piano, on Sunday, March 30, at 3:00 p.m. in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts Recital Hall. The recital is free and open to the public. The program will feature works for voice, viola, and piano by composers Fryderyk Chopin, Romanza Carlos Gomes, Johannes Brahms, Frank Bridge, Francisco Mignone, and João Gomes de Araújo. Dr. Magdalena Wór is assistant professor of voice at the University of Wyoming, where she teaches Applied Voice lessons and Opera Workshop. She is a Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions National Finalist, winner of the International Marcella Sembrich Kochańska Vocal Competition and the Heinz Rehfuss Vocal Competition, Finalist of the International Marcello Giordani and Moniuszko Competitions, and an alumna of the San Francisco Opera’s Merola Summer Opera Program and the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program at the Washington National Opera. Wór has sung with the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Opera, the National Philharmonic, Palm Beach Opera, Baltic Opera, Virginia Opera, Washington Concert Opera, Birmingham Opera, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Alabama Symphony Orchestra, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Richmond Symphony Orchestra, and New Trinity Baroque, among others. Equally comfortable on an operatic stage and in intimate chamber setting, Wór has collaborated with fellow musicians across the United States, as well as in Poland, Mexico, Philippines, and Great Britain. Award-winning Brazilian violist Glêsse Collet immigrated to the United States in 2016. She served as principal viola in the Symphony Orchestra of Teatro Nacional de Brasília (Brazil) for five years, and has been a viola soloist with conductors Claudio Santoro, Oswaldo Colasso, Gerald Kegelmann, Piero Bastianelli, Elena Herrera, and Claudio Cohen. Collet has performed throughout Brazil and the world as a member of the Quarteto de Brasília, whose critically-acclaimed recordings have received the Sharp Prize for the “Best Classical Music CD,” the OK Prize, the Federal District Cultural Merit Order Award, and the ninth Carlos Gomes Prize for Classical Music in the category “Best Chamber Music Ensemble of the Year.” Collet is featured on a solo disc of works by Brazilian composers. American pianist Theresa Bogard is a dynamic, versatile performer dedicated to expanding the canon of traditional piano repertoire. Her early career focused on performances of music by women composers, and she continues to include works by other lesser-known composers in her varied programs. As a recipient of a coveted Fulbright grant, Bogard was able to explore her interest in historical performance practice and fortepiano studying at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague in the Netherlands. That same year she was a top-prize winner in the International Mozart Fortepiano Competition in Bruges, Belgium. A world traveler with a passion for other cultures, Bogard has performed on five continents. Her extensive discography includes recordings ranging from solo piano to chamber music collaborations, from music of living composers to her specialty in fortepiano and historical performance practice.
