Acclaimed flutist Erika Boysen joins University of Wyoming Department of Music piano faculty Dr. Jiwon Han in a recital designed to invite listeners to consider how repertoire choices can shape connection, conversation, and change. The recital will be held Wednesday, October 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Buchanan Center for Performing Arts Recital Hall. This performance, made possible through Department of Music guest artist funds and designed in conjunction with this year’s Shepard Symposium on Social Justice, is free and open to the public. The program, entitled “Your program, your platform,” centers around a crucial question for today’s artists: what responsibilities do musicians carry when choosing which program to perform? Boysen’s selections, which feature composers as varied as the historically-significant J.S. Bach to contemporaries from America (Valerie Coleman, Allison Loggins-Hull, Eugénie R. Rocherolle), the Netherlands (Herman Beeftink) and Slovenia (Blaž Pucihar), reflect on traditional models of recital construction while raising questions about representation, relevance, and the balance between honoring the past and engaging with the present. Dr. Erika Boysen is an internationally-recognized flutist, interdisciplinary artist, and educator whose work redefines the traditional boundaries of classical performance. Blending movement, music, and storytelling, she is known not only for her virtuosic artistry but also for her belief in the transformative power of performance to tell stories, build community, and inspire change. Boysen currently serves as Associate Professor of Flute at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where her teaching and performing are grounded in a conviction that music is a catalyst for connection. Boysen has performed and taught with this conviction across Asia, Canada, Central America, Europe, and throughout the United States. Dr. Jiwon Han joined the faculty at the University of Wyoming in 2022 and currently serves as Visiting Assistant Professor of piano. Han holds two Doctor of Musical Arts degrees in Piano Performance and Collaborative Piano from Michigan State University, an Artist Diploma from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (where he was awarded the Art of the Piano Foundation Award Scholarship), and both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from the Korea National University of Arts. Dr. Han has garnered widespread acclaim through numerous national and international competitions. His discography includes two solo albums, Debut and Romanticism, along with two collaborative recordings: Bach-Schubert, a live performance with violinist Zia Shin, and Works by German Composers with violinist Fangting Chen.
