After being involved with the UC Davis Music Department for over a year, I just learned that they keep a tidy schedule of events on their main page. Every week there are at least a couple of performances, which include the Thursday Noon Concerts and junior and senior recitals. The next few weeks are a prime time to check out the Music Building since these recitals are the culmination of the year's work.
If you have a break between classes or from work, check out a performance and feel ashamed that you never followed through with your second-grade recorder lessons.
This week:
Wednesday, May 21, 3:30-5 pm
Dan Eisenberg, percussion
(I've seen this dude play before; he's a wizard on the marimba.)
Thursday, May 22, 12:05-1 pm
Hindustani Vocal Ensemble
(This is a UCD class that performs classical Northern Indian music, accompanied by tabla and harmonium. Beware: If you go, the melodies will be in your head for the rest of the week. The director, Rita Sahai, is a pretty renowned singer, and she's even up for a Grammy nomination!)
Friday, May 23, 3:30-5 pm
Lisa Sueyres, sorpano vocal
(Can't personally vouch for her, but if she's got the guts to sing for an hour and a half accompanied only by one piano, I am humbled.)
All these performances are free and take place in 115 Music. The Music Building is next to the Main Theatre and the Art Building on the UC Davis campus. (map)
