‘Nature of freedom’ chosen for Tabor lecture

Jen Stephenson, assistant professor of choral music at Tabor College, will present the 23rd annual Richard G. Kyle Faculty Lecture 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Shari Flaming Center for the Arts.

Stephenson, in her fourth year at Tabor, has titled her presentation, “The Nature of Freedom: A Comparative Study of Dallapiccola’s Il Prigioniero and Menotti’s The Consul.”

The lecture will focus on how World Wars I and II led two composers to reach “the same conclusions about the nature of freedom and culpability of oppression,” she said.
