The music department will celebrate Chopin’s 200th birthday, Sunday, Oct. 17.
Chopin was born in 1810 and died in 1849; Fredrick Chopin was a composer, pianist and music teacher. He is also known as one of the masters of romantic music.
“His music is loved by the entire world,” said Dr. Ronald Chioldi, associate professor of music. “His music is easily digestible without being bland.”
Performers will include NSU faculty, as well as former NSU students. Although the concert is mainly for entertainment there will be a PowerPoint presentation educating the audience on Chopin’s life span.
“I think it will be a good experience for students,” said Daniel Thompson, senior music major. “ I would hope that mainly people would come to be entertained. His music is medley in appeal.”
The concert is in the jazz lab at 3 p.m., it is open to the public and free food will be served.
