James Joyce comes to life in song in a performance by Judith Kellock, Associate Professor of Music at Cornell and pianist Blaise Bryski, DMA candidate, at noon on Friday, September 2, Libe Café, Olin Library.

Selections from composer Samuel Barber's settings of Joyce's works will be performed, including "Three Songs Op. 10: Rain Has Fallen, Sleep Now, I Hear an Army;" "Now I have Fed and Eaten up the Rose" (Joyce's translation of a poem by Gottfried Keller); "Solitary Hotel" (from cycle "Despite and Still"); and "Nuvoletta, Op. 25."

The performance, free and open to all, is presented in conjunction with "James Joyce: from Dublin to Ithaca," an exhibition of Cornell's James Joyce Collection running through October 12 in the Hirshland Exhibition Gallery, Carl A. Kroch Library (rmc.library.cornell.edu/joyce).

Libe Café food and beverage service will not be available during the performance.
