Their performances will be interwoven with historical commentaries and rarely seen images from the University Archives, followed by light refreshments and a carillon recital by University Carillonneur Timothy Zerlang.
Stephen M. Sano is a professor of music at the Stanford Department of Music and directs the Stanford Chamber Chorale and Symphonic Chorus.
Timothy Zerlang is the university carillonneur and a lecturer at the Stanford Department of Music.
