Two members of UVM's Music Department David Neiweem, professor and chair, and Alan Parshley, lecturer and affiliate artist in horn playing will celebrate 20 years at UVM with a free concert, Sept. 8, at 3 p.m., in the UVM Recital Hall. They will perform works for keyboard, voices and French horns with members of the UVM Catamount Singers and the Green Mountain Horn Club.
Neiweem and Parshley met as graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1979. They have enjoyed a partnership of 24 years, which they affirmed in a civil union last November. Neiweem was invited to join the faculty in 1982 on a visiting appointment and has taught voice, opera, choral music and conducting. Parshley joined the faculty the following fall, teaching music literature and French horn and conducting the Brass Ensemble.
Neiweem founded the University Catamount Singers, and Parshley founded the Green Mountain Horn Club. Both musicians have worked with musical organizations throughout the state and region, including the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and the Vermont Mozart Festival. Parshley is a member of the Albany Symphony Orchestra, and Neiweem is music director of the Burlington Choral Society and of the First Congregational Church of Burlington.
The musicians are founding directors of the Pitten International Music Festival in Pitten, Austria, a biennial music festival now in its 10th year.
