The Harpsichord — A Fresh Voice from the Past
Friday, May 11th at 11:00am
Presented by Ruth Holmes, Ph.D. Please join us for an interesting and educational journey as Dr. Ruth Holmes guides us through the history of the Harpsichord from its earliest days to its revival in the 20th century. Discover how the early harpsichord developed, how it lost favor to the pianoforte, and how a new generation of musicians rediscovered its grace and charm in the 20th century. A ‘must-experience’ program for teachers and students alike!
For over 35 years Dr. Ruth Holmes has been a part of the music faculty of Lubbock Christian University. During that time she has served as Interim Chair of Communications and Fine Arts, and as President of the Faculty Senate.
She has edited Eighteenth Century keyboard music published by Oxford Press and has contributed book reviews to the American Music Teachers Journal. Dr. Holmes has also served as the Chair of Musicology and Early Instruments for Music Teacher National Association.
Her interest and passion for early music are captured in her presentation which focuses on the evolution of the harpsichord from its earliest days to its "revival" in the twentieth century.

Richard Glazier Salutes the American Popular Song
Saturday, May 26th at 7PM on KVIE
Award winning pianist and master storyteller, Richard Glazier, takes audiences on a musical tour of the 20th century in this fascinating program dedicated to the American Popular Song. Tune in to KVIE on Saturday, May 26th to see him perform.
Using his piano as a time machine, Glazier starts when Ragtime was King and continues through the decades that followed, with stops in Tin Pan Alley, Broadway and Hollywood. Glazier's exciting piano performances are made even more meaningful with fascinating inside stories and rare film and audio clips.
Whether he's playing the music of Joplin, Gershwin, Rodgers, Kern or a host of other Golden Era composers, Glazier brings new life to old favorites, and his narration never fails to dazzle an audience—so real and deep is his passion for the music. Concluding each program with the complete solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue, Glazier gives audiences an evening to remember.
