Violinist Derry Deane (above), with Anna Norberg on piano, visit the
UVic school of music for a special guest recital, 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct.
17 at the Phillip T. Young Recital Hall. Deane heads the string department
at the University of Tulsa and for 10 years was concertmaster of the Victoria
Symphony. She and Norberg will present a program of music by women composers
including Jean Coulthard, Violet Archer and Amy Beach. Norberg is a specialist
in women's music and co-directs the women's studies program at the University
of Tulsa. "Our role is to let audiences know that women composers have
been around for a very long time, and to let them hear wonderful music that
they perhaps have not heard before," says Deane. Admission is $12 for
adults, $8 for students and seniors. Tickets are available from the school
of music or at the door.
