Pianist and Professor Sezi Seskir, music, will perform a free, public faculty recital with Lucy Fitz Gibbon, soprano, in Natalie Davis Rooke Recital Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Seskir has performed many solo and chamber music recitals in Europe, the U.S. and Turkey, as well as with various orchestras as a soloist. Her experience performing on a variety of historical keyboards, including 5-octave instruments from the second half of the 18th century, as well as 6 and 6.5-octave instruments from the first half of the 19th century, enriched and deepened her understanding of the genres and repertoire of these periods. She regularly performs with her chamber music partners, violinist Lucy Russell and Cellist Keiran Campbell.

Fitz Gibbon is “noted for her “dazzling, virtuoso singing” (Boston Globe), [and] is a dynamic musician whose repertoire spans the Renaissance to the present. She believes that creating new works and recreating those lost in centuries past makes room for the multiplicity and diversity of voices integral to classical music’s future.” In helping to realize the complexities of music beyond written notes, her experience of working with Baroque composers and various other composers “translates to all music: the commitment to faithfully communicate not only the score, but also the underlying intentions of its creator.”
