EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire music and theatre arts department will present the following musical performances the week beginning Monday, Sept. 22. All events are free and open to the public.

Sunday, Sept. 28:

• Paul Kosower, professor of music, will present a faculty cello recital at 2 p.m. in Gantner Concert Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center. The program will begin with Cesar Franck’s Sonata in A Major, followed by Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Sonata, Op. 19 in G Minor. This cello sonata, composed in 1901, premiered shortly after Rachmaninoff’s second piano concerto, and displays many similarities to that work. Professor Kosower has performed throughout the United States and Europe and has appeared as a soloist with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Alexandre Dossin, assistant professor of music, will provide accompaniment for the recital. Dossin has been a prizewinner at piano competitions in Athens, Greece; Salzburg, Austria; and Sicily, Italy. He recently won first prize in the Martha Argerich International Piano Competition in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
