NSU music students to perform Beethoven

THIBODAUX — Nicholls State University will hold a livestream where piano students will play movements from several of Beethoven’s sonatas, including “Moonlight.”
The Facebook livestream will be from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 8.
Gloria B. Callais Endowed Professor of Music Luciana Soares has been working with the students. She said they are looking forward to sharing the work.
“Come support our homegrown piano students as they perform some of the greatest music ever written,” the Steinway Artist said in a news release. “For a musician, Beethoven is the Everest of composers. We work hard to bring these pieces to life, and I believe it will be a rewarding experience for performers and audience alike.”
The event will conclude Nicholls’ celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, which began in January. The students originally were scheduled to end the ceremonies in May, but the pandemic delayed the event.
