Maryville College senior Alicia Gray ’24 will present a clarinet recital at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

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.

The program will include: “Introduction and Joropo” by Jorge Montilla, “Black” by Marc Mellits, “Hassidic Tunes” by Lev Kogan, and “Six Studies in English Folk-Song” by R. Vaughan Williams.

The recital will also include Stephanie Holt ’26 as a guest performer. Chase Hatmaker ’14 will serve as the collaborative pianist.

“I chose these pieces because, like my musical journey, they demonstrate both the tenacity and the calm; the tension and the resolution that drives performance forward,” Gray said.

Gray, an Instrumental Music Education major with teaching licensure from Knoxville, is a 2018 graduate of Karns High School.
