Join us for an evocative afternoon of song featuring renowned countertenor Daniel Moody and Dr. David Chin of the Augustana University School of Music at the piano.

Spanning more than three centuries of music, the recital explores the many faces of desire, from the sensuality and passion of the Baroque to the tenderness, heartbreak, and solitude of the Romantic era. Featuring music by Dowland, Purcell, Scarlatti, Duparc, Hahn, Mozart, Brahms, and Mahler, the program traces a deeply human journey through love, longing, and farewell.

It is always a great day when we can fill Hamre Recital Hall with all of our student musicians! We can't say for certain whether or not our student musicians represent every major offered on campus but we would be willing to bet it is darn close. In fact a good percentage of our students have majors and/or minors outside of music and media productions. Welcome to the 2026-27 academic year!
