The Bel Canto Duo: Four Cather Tableaux

The Bel Canto Duo's performance of Four Cather Tableaux will include original compositions inspired by passages from Willa Cather's A Lost Lady, "Nebraska: The End of the First Cycle," April Twilights and Other Poems, and One of Ours, publications that defined Willa Cather's 50th year and also shaped the latter half of a literary career that we are still celebrating 100 years later.

This event is the culminating performance of the 68th annual Willa Cather Spring Conference. It is made possible with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
