Maryville College senior Elisabeth Jackson ’22 will present a recital, titled “10,000 Hours” at 6 p.m. April 26. 

The recital, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts on the MC campus. A reception will follow the performance.

The program will include compositions by Bernhard Henrik Crusell, Gioachino Rossini, Paul Reade, and more. Chase Hatmaker ’14 will collaborate on the piano.

“The repertoire I have chosen for my recital embodies the complexity of the clarinet,” Jackson said. “Each piece shows off a different type of skill that can only be performed on the clarinet. Each composer paints different emotions within their compositions that have touched me as a musician. 

“This repertoire has helped me grow and improve my skills immensely. This music has taken me back and reminded me why I chose to learn the clarinet in the first place.”

Jackson, an Instrumental Music Education major from Hendersonville, Tennessee, where she graduated in 2018 from Hendersonville Christian Academy.

The recital and reception are free and open to the public.
