Karen Brookens, assistant professor of voice at WSU, will perform a vocal solo of Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5. "This solo in particular is done with eight cellos, so you don't really get the full orchestra; it's focused more on the specific instruments," Brookens said. This selection is a Spanish art melody that is written in Portuguese. The theme of the song is nature and the moonlit beauty of the earth and the sky.
