The performance, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts on the Maryville College campus.

The program will include music from the Renaissance, the Romantic, and the Modern eras, including works by the composers Henry Purcell, Johannes Brahms, Leonard Bernstein and more.

“Music is what has inspired me to work this hard and continue moving forward in spite of my struggles, and this is a celebration of how far music has taken me,” Brandl said.

Brandl, a Music major from Memphis, Tennessee, is a 2020 graduate of Faith Heritage Christian Academy.
