Assistant Professor of Music Jamie Dahman\u2019s interest in the Bulgarian art song enriches not only himself but also his Delta State University colleagues. Case in point: Dahman earned Delta State\u2019s 2019 Humanities Teacher Award from the Mississippi Humanities Council for his work in the field. Dahman will give a related lecture-recital, \u201cBulgarian Art Song: History, Development, and Performance,\u201d for which he won the award, at Delta State on Tuesday, March 5, 2019, at 7 PM in the Choral Rehearsal Room in Zeigel Hall. The event is free and open to the public. Dahman also will travel to the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson on April 5 to be recognized at the Mississippi Humanities Council\u2019s Public Humanities Awards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was fortunate to have been a Fulbright Fellow from January 2012 to May 2012, and while studying at the Academy of Music, Dance, and Fine Art in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, I was able to compile several collections of Bulgarian classical song,\u201d said Dahman, who joined Delta State in 2016 and teaches applied voice, lyric diction, and vocal pedagogy. \u201cFrom those, I curated a volume of Bulgarian art songs called Bulgarian Art Song<\/em> in the original Bulgarian with English translations. I\u2019m happy anytime I can share this music with an audience. It deserves a place alongside the standard vocal repertoire for a singer.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Karen Fosheim, professor and chair of the Department of Music, agreed. She\u2019s one of those who nominated Dahman for the annual awards that are presented to humanities faculty members at Mississippi colleges and universities. \u201cHe has made an important contribution to the vocal music canon through his scholarship,\u201d she said, because \u201cthis literature is not widely known or available outside of Bulgaria.\u201d Fosheim added that the music is \u201cbeautiful, intricate, and artistically interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Assistant Professor of Music Jamie Dahman\u2019s interest in the Bulgarian art song enriches not only himself but also his Delta State University colleagues.
