COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Area residents will be treated to a special Palm Sunday concert this weekend at Lindsey Wilson College.

Lindsey Wilson Professor of Music Robert Reynolds and his son, Jon, will perform a Sunday afternoon concert in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall. The concert -- which begins at 2 p.m. CT -- is free and open the public.

"The concert will offer eclectic mood-setting pieces for spring and will include selections symbolically appropriate for Palm Sunday," Robert Reynolds said.

Robert will play several classical selections on piano, including compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Joseph Haydn, Franz Liszt and  Domenico Scarlatti

Jon will play an eclectic collection of modern music on guitar that will include church hymns, jazz pieces and modern classical pieces.

"It will be easy-listening, nice pieces for a Palm Sunday," Robert said.

Robert has been giving concerts at LWC since joined the college's faculty in 1980, but Jon, who teaches English as a second language at Northern Kentucky University, has only been playing guitar since he graduated from college.

"He got interested in it and started taking lessons after he graduated from college," Robert said. "We just sort of got together … and we've been getting together and doing things ever since."

Robert and Jon Reynolds will give a Palm Sunday concert at 2 p.m. CT Sunday, April 1, in W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall, 155 Blue Raider Drive. The concert is free and open to the public.
