FARMINGTON, Maine — Pianists Bridget Convey, Amy Maier, Steven Pane, and Sam Sytsma, who all teach at UMF, will perform a program of solo piano literature as part of “Sonitus: A Sound Studies University Forum”  at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, at the Performance Space, Emery Community Arts Center on the UMF campus.

The pianists have chosen works that open distinctive sonic spaces: creating time and place (Liszt’s Italian travels in “Sposalizio”), exploring a natural element (Ravel’s water games in “Jeux d’Eau”), depicting waveforms (John Adams’s repetition in “China Gates”), evoking transcendence (Messiaen’s spiritual soundscape in “Regards des anges” from “Vingt regards sur l’enfant Jesu”). Other works creating which explore elements of sound include Barbara White’s “Reliquary,” Debussy’s “Claire de Lune,” William Byrd’s “A Fancie,” and Ana-Maria Avram’s “Musique per Mallarmé.”

The performance is free and open-to-the-public.
