Nephina Performs in Concert at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Sept. 27

VALDOSTA — Nephina, featuring Nina Lutz on violin and Nephtali Santiago on guitar, will perform in concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27, on the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Whitehead Auditorium stage. Admission is free of charge and open to the public.

Nephina’s program features Franz Schubert’s “great” Arpeggione Sonata and two “very passionate Spanish-style pieces,” Dimas Sedicias’s Requiem para un Novillero and Manuel de Falla’s Spanish Dance No. 1, said Santiago, celebrated guitarist and adjunct professor in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s Department of Music. The duo will perform Irving Berlin’s “Reaching for the Moon” and “Always” with vocalist Cindy Quick, instructor in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s English Language Institute and active singer and guitarist who performs regularly at area venues.

Lutz serves as chairwoman of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Department of Music String Area and has been concertmaster of the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra and first violinist of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Faculty String Quartet since 1992. She teaches courses in applied violin, music theory, and functional piano.

Whitehead Auditorium is located on the first floor of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s Fine Arts Building, at the intersection of Brookwood Drive and Oak Street.
