  • Senior recital — Liam Flatley, tenor: April 19

    Featuring composers ranging from J.S. Bach to Steven Sondheim, Liam Flatley, tenor, explores what it means to be steadfast in one’s sense of devotion. Whether expressed by exalting the power of God like in Bach’s "Magnificat", or explored through the struggle to be vulnerable enough to love and be loved in Sondheim's "Company", devotion manifests in our lives in many ways and asks us to consider what gives our lives meaning. Additional works will also be featured by George F. Handel, Robert Schumann, Francis Poulenc, Daniel Catán, and Benjamin Britten.

    This event will take place from 1-2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 19, in Casadesus Recital Hall. Admission is free.

  • Auditions for "The Late Wedding" — 2026-27 Theatre Department season opener

    The Theatre Department is sharing audition information for the first show of the 2026-27 season, "The Late Wedding" by Christopher Chen, directed by guest artist Jose Zayas, and running Oct. 2–7.

    The audition process is asynchronous, with recorded auditions, which means no intimidating panel staring at you while you perform. You'll come into Studio B, stand in front of the camera, slate your name and the piece you're performing, and do your monologue. The director will watch all the recordings later to get to know your work. Take your time, breathe, and show us what you've got! The Audition Form is available at the link below to sign up.

    Prepare a one-minute contemporary monologue of your choice; memorization is encouraged (to see your full physical and vocal range), but reading from the page is allowed, too. New to auditioning? No worries — here's a monologue available, if you'd prefer not to hunt for your own material: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fKsHBpbbCt0ROlDnmpQk2U90NgnKYrCct1nJGEnXCYA/edit?usp=drive_link

    Recording sessions will take place from 6-10 p.m. Sunday, April 12, and Sunday, April 19, both in Studio B.

    Callbacks will be live and in-person, from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, April 26, in Studio A, and 7-11 p.m. Monday, April 27, in Studio A. If you get a callback, the Theatre Department will send you the material and format details with your invitation.

  • Faculty recital — Hippocrates Cheng: April 19

    Hippocrates Cheng, assistant professor of music theory and composition, presents "Re/Sonic", a concert of new music for East Asian instruments. This performance features nine distinguished artists of East Asian instruments who will premiere new compositions composed by Cheng. The program includes trio music for Chinese instruments (dizi, erhu, pipa); trio music for Japanese instruments (ry?teki, hichiriki, shakuhachi); trio music for Korean instruments (daegeum, haegeum, gayageum), and a large ensemble piece for all nine instruments.

    This event will take place from 3-5 p.m. Sunday, April 19, in Chamber Hall, Anderson Center. Ticketing information is available at the link below.

    This concert is sponsored in part by Harpur College, School of the Arts, Department of Asian and Asian American Studies, and the Institute for Asia and Asian Diasporas.

    Hippocrates Cheng is an assistant professor of music theory and composition in the Binghamton University Music Department. He is a composer, theorist, ethnomusicologist, and multi-instrumentalist from Hong Kong. In 2024, he completed his doctorate in music composition with a minor in ethnomusicology at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. His composition teachers included professors Don Freund, Eugene O'Brien, David Dzubay, and Aaron Travers.

    As an award-winning composer, Cheng writes contemporary classical music, new music for Asian instruments, jazz, and music for interdisciplinary productions. As a multi-instrumentalist, he performs overtone singing, piano, and viola while also practicing qin, dan bau, and phin pia. He draws on music theory, composition, ethnomusicology, and sound studies in his research of both traditional and contemporary East Asian music. This intersectional approach is exemplified by his research on the music of the Hong Kong composer Doming Lam, the player piano and piano rolls in early jazz history, and braille music notation. His papers were selected by conferences hosted by AMIS, IAML, ICTMD, ISJAC, APME, AMS, the CUNY Graduate Center, the University at Buffalo, the University of Southern California, the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Humboldt University, University College Dublin, the University of Malaya, and the Korean Performing Arts Institute of Chicago.

    Cheng began his musical journey by learning to play piano, violin, and clarinet in choir and ensembles. He pursued his Bachelor of Music in composition at the Hong Kong Baptist University under the guidance of Christopher Coleman and Christopher Keyes. In 2018, with the support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund, he completed his master's degree in Music Composition at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) with distinction. His composition teachers included professors Clarence Mak and Florence Cheung.

    Before joining Binghamton University, he taught as an associate instructor in music theory at IU and as adjunct faculty at IU Northwest. As a guest lecturer, he gave lectures, talks, masterclasses, and workshops at Butler University (USA), Ball State University (USA), University of Indianapolis (USA), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA), Shanghai Conservatory of Music (China), Peking University (China), Lingnan University (Hong Kong), Senzoku College of Music (Japan), Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts (Japan), Mahidol University (Thailand), Chiang Mai Rajabhat University (Thailand), Naresuan University (Thailand), and Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (Thailand).

    In June 2024, his chamber opera on anti-Asian hate, "All of US", was premiered as the winning work commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana. In the summer of 2024, he was selected for an exchange program funded by Indiana University (IU) and the Free University of Berlin (FUB). During his residency in Berlin, he conducted research and created new works. He is currently working on a creative research project titled "East Asian Music in the Contemporary World."
