A rising star will be performing at Iowa State this weekend. Korean baritone singer Dae-San No will present a recital of songs Friday night in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. No is the 1999 winner of the Lieder Prize at the Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. He has also taken first place in the Licia Albanese Puccini Foundation International Voice Competition as well as the Mario Lanza Competition. His major operatic roles include those of Rigoletto, Falstaff (at Tanglewood, Seiji Ozawa), Don Alfonso and Leporello. No has degrees from both Han-Yang University in Seoul, South Korea and the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. He’s currently an artist at the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.Ames Town and Gown Chamber Music Association is presenting No’s recital with the help of the Marilyn Horne Foundation, New York. “Marilyn Horne is one of the most famous living American opera stars living today,” Paula Forrest, artistic director of Ames Town and Gown said. “She [Horne] hand picks 10 or so singers she thinks are stars of the future and they go to towns to introduce young people to classical music.”The Marilyn Horne Foundation was founded in 1994, because the vocal recital area of classical music needed help. “Solo vocal recital has become somewhat a rarity,” Barbara Hocher, executive director of the Marilyn Horne Foundation said.Hocher said the foundation gives a grant to local presenters and pays for most artist and presenter fees. This season, the foundation will tour 17 states, but is always trying to grow. The outreach of Ames Town and Gown with the help of the Marilyn Horne Foundation has allowed No to visit with Ames youth. This past week, he has presented lecture demonstrations at Ames High School and Meeker Elementary School. The finale of the week will be No’s recital.No will be accompanied by pianist Laura Ward, faculty member at the Academy of Vocal Arts, Philadelphia. The recital will include music of Franz Schubert, Gerald Finzi, Maurice Ravel, Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi. “The music he’s doing is not opera, per se,” Forrest said. “It is not written for opera theater.”The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at Rieman’s Music, Big Table Books and the ISU music department office. Tickets are free for students with ID and $20 for others.
