Event Details
UNM’s all-strings orchestra presents Sturm und Drang, a dramatic musical journey filled with tension, passion, and profound beauty. Experience the stormy energy of Haydn’s Symphony No. 49, often considered a cornerstone of the movement. Sibelius’s meditative Impromptu and Albeniz’s evocative Legend of Asturias provide lyrical contrast, while Smetana’s Themes from the Moldau sweep you along a musical river of Czech pride. Baptiste’s Brandenburg rounds out the program with a virtuosic, modern twist.
Conducted by Dr. Sebastian Serrano-Ayala.

Located in the Center for the Arts, Keller Hall is the recital home of the Department of Music
Keller Hall seats 284 people, and includes an orchestra pit, green room, conjunct recording facilities, and a 1967 Holtkamp organ. The Holtkamp contains 2,741 pipes, 3 keyboards, and 51 ranks, making it one of the largest organs in the state of New Mexico. Keller Hall is the venue for over 170 faculty, guest artist, ensemble and student recitals each year. It was originally known as the Fine Arts Recital Hall, but was renamed in April, 1971, for the late Dr. Walter Keller, former music faculty member and head of the piano area.
