One of my fellow local "Rings" fans is a relative of the composer and told me about this performance. I thought this might be of some interest to any Oshkosh, Wisconsin area fans out there:

Dr. David Cowley of the music faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh will perform his own compositions for solo cello entitled "A Ring Cycle: Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien". The performance will be Wednesday, May 15, at 12:40 pm in room N234 of the Music Building at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
