The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Music Department and the Office of Campus Life will present a Songwriters Showcase at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8 in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall.

The free event will feature student works and the singer songwriting duo, Victoria Botero and Beau Bledsoe, a UALR alumnus.

Botero Bledsoe is the critically acclaimed duo of soprano Victoria Botero and guitarist Beau Bledsoe. Rooted in classical music, the duo blends guitar and voice traditions from around the world. They deliver a diverse repertoire of musical traditions, from Schubert lieder and beloved Irish tunes, to Argentine tangos and the urban folk songs of Istanbul.

The duo combines extensive research and personal experience to weave together tales from around the world in an unforgettable evening of song. The duo’s first recording together, Un ramo de voz (A bouquet of voice), was released in 2013 through Tzigane Music.

Parking will be available next to the Fine Arts Building. There will also be a master class for songwriters at 1 p.m. Nov. 8, in the Fine Arts Building, Room 112.
