POTSDAM -- The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam will host guest artist Jason D. Ham for a recital at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, in Snell Music Theater.

The concert will feature Ham on the euphonium along with some accompaniment from Crane musicians.

The performance will open with the "Aria and Rondo" by Joseph-Hector Fiocco, arranged by SUNY Potsdam Professor Emeritus Arthur Frackenpohl, followed by Joseph Turin's "Concert Piece No. 1," and his own arrangement of Georg Friedrich Händel's "Ombra Mai Fu," from the opera "Serse."

He'll be joined by Associate Professor of Music Charles Guy on the tuba for the five movement "Dancing by Myself," a suite for euphonium, tuba and piano by Barbara York.

The Potsdam Brass Quintet will join Ham for a performance of Ben McMillian's "Kaleidoscopic Overdrive" and "Elegie," followed by a special arrangement of "Chopsticks."

The concert will conclude with Philip Wilby's "Zeibekikos," from his euphonium concerto.
