Guest Recital: Ilan Morgenstern

Ilan Morgenstern is performing a trombone recital at Kresge Theatre on Monday, October 19. It's a guest recital, which means he's coming in from outside the university to play for the afternoon. The venue is part of the College of Fine Arts, located at 5000 Forbes Ave in the Oakland neighborhood.

If you're not familiar with the trombone, it's a brass instrument with a slide instead of valves, known for its deep, resonant tone and its ability to slide between notes. A solo recital puts the instrument front and center, so you'll hear Morgenstern carry the whole program on his own. It's a good chance to hear the trombone as a lead voice rather than just part of a larger ensemble.

Since it's a guest recital, the program is built around Morgenstern himself. The performance is free and open to the public, and there are no tickets required, so you can just show up and find a seat. The theatre is at 5000 Forbes Ave, right in the heart of the College of Fine Arts campus. If you're in the area on Monday afternoon, it's an easy one to drop into.
