Performer Biographies Emory University senior Jane Farrell is from Worthington, Ohio. In sixth grade, Farrell began playing the oboe with her elementary school band. She studied with Karen Pfiefer in eighth grade and joined local youth bands and orchestras throughout middle and high school. Farrell is currently a student of Emily Brebach, and has performed with the Emory University Symphony Orchestra and the Emory Wind Ensemble for the past four years. As a member of the Music Advisory Board for three years, Farrell has acted as a student advisor and liaison between faculty and students, as well as coordinated and led monthly programs designed to create community within Emory’s music department. Farrell will graduate in May with degrees in linguistics and music performance. While at Emory, Farrell has been a research assistant in the Emory Language Acquisition Lab and the Ohio State University’s Language Sciences Research Lab. Her passion for linguistics has led her to pursue a senior honors thesis focusing on prosody and semantics in African American English. Farrell will continue linguistics research and plans to get a masters degree in speech language pathology. Farrell feels lucky to have found her community within the music department and wants to thank her friends and family for their unending love and support. She would also like to thank her teachers, Emily Brebach and Karen Pfeifer, for their support and guidance through the years. Praised as “a superb collaborator, boldly undertaking the demanding keyboard parts with boundless technique, dynamic range, and expressive understanding” by American Record Guide, pianist Erika Tazawa has gained recognition as a versatile collaborative artist. In the field of vocal accompanying, she has served as musical staff for American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria, appeared in programs with the Atlanta Opera, and was a recipient of Stern Fellowship at SongFest at Colburn School. An internationally recognized performer of contemporary music and a pianist of Bent Frequency, Tazawa has worked with many leading composers including John Luther Adams, Jake Heggie, and George Lewis. Tazawa’s solo album Rhythm of Silence, featuring 21st-century piano works, has been featured on Gramophone UK magazine as “such intelligent program-building and committed performances warrant serious attention and exposure.” Tazawa is on collaborative piano faculty at Emory and Kennesaw State University.
