Virtuoso Series Concert: Ysmael Reyes, Flute and Hyeji Seo, Piano –Sound, Memory, and Identity

Virtuoso Series Concert: “Sound, Memory, and Identity” is a flute-and-piano recital featuring CSU faculty-artists Ysmael Reyes (flute) and Hyeji Seo (piano). It takes place Monday, September 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Organ Recital Hall at Colorado State University’s School of the Arts (University Center for the Arts) in Fort Collins. The program explores how musical identity is shaped by sound, memory, and cultural exchange, with a spotlight on Venezuelan composers and perspectives. You’ll hear contemporary works by Adina Izarra, René Orea, and Raimundo Pineda that reimagine Venezuelan rhythms and sonic landscapes. The concert also includes contrasting selections by Aaron Copland, John Corigliano, and Alfred Schnittke, tracing transformation across 20th-century and postmodern styles. It’s ideal for classical music lovers, students, and anyone curious about cross-cultural storytelling through music. Seating is limited, so buying tickets early is recommended. Playbills are digital-only and available via QR code at the entrance or through the ticketing site. Check CSU’s music events listing for updates or changes.
