New York City-based artists Ayane Kozasa (viola), Isabel Lepanto Gleicher (flute), and Adrienne Kim (piano) bring their innovative and dynamic music-making that explores how artists create messages and meaning through instrumental music. This program features works for flute, viola, and piano composed by Alvin Singleton, Ilari Kaila, Isabel Lepanto Gleicher, and Syracuse University faculty composer Nicolas Scherzinger. Scherzinger’s work “Escape the Echo Chamber” is influenced by philosopher C. Thi Nguyen’s recent work on social structures that continually exclude information and perpetuate sameness. Kozasa, Gleicher, and Kim’s musical interpretation of this timely topic is something we can all resonate with.
These amazing performers are very active in the new music scene, having performed and premiered numerous works by living and underrepresented composers with elite music ensembles in New York City.
Dr. Anne Laver, Assistant Professor of Organ and University Organist says, “We are thrilled to bring these fabulous musicians to Hendricks Chapel. Adrienne, Ayane, and Isabel are exceptional ambassadors for new music. Their musicianship is sure to delight us, and the music, with its artistic integrity and exploration of current issues, will challenge and inspire us. It is going to be a great concert.”
Ayane Kozasa, Isabel Lepanto Gleicher, and Adrienne Kim will be lighting up the Hendricks Chapel stage on April 9th at 4:30 p.m. All students, staff, faculty, and Syracuse community members are welcome to come take part in this rich musical experience!

The Malmgren Concert Series was made possible by a generous gift from Syracuse University alumna Ester Malmgren to Hendricks Chapel in 1991. The series offers the Syracuse community the highest quality of arts with free and open admission. The series typically includes three-to-four concerts each year at Hendricks Chapel, many of which feature the organ, Ester Malmgren’s favorite instrument.
Complimentary parking is available in the Quad Lot and Irving Garage. Programs are offered in-person and streamed online via the Hendricks Chapel YouTube channel.
