Bowling Green, Ky. - Western Kentucky University music professor, composer and singer Michael Kallstrom will present “Tell Me Your Name” at 3 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center Recital Hall.

Admission to the faculty recital is free.

“Tell Me Your Name,” the fifth in Dr. Kallstrom’s “Electric Opera” series, features musical settings of stories of creation and the end of the world from cultures around the world. Using video projections, a shadow screen and puppets, Dr. Kallstrom brings these stories to life in two acts of music and theater with electronic music accompaniment.

A video created by his brother, Daniel Kallstrom, opens the concert. Symbols, human figures, puppets and lights appear on the large shadow screen that is centered on the stage. The first act presents tales of the creation of the earth and mankind while the second act tells of the end of the world and the world to come. All these stories are adapted from the perspective of different cultures and synthesized into a dramatic, music theater presentation.
