March 8, 2024
Nathalie Simper, a Maryville College adjunct instructor of flute, will present a faculty recital at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 21 in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts, located on the MC campus.
The program, titled “In Remembrance of the Holocaust,” will feature music by Jewish composers Ernest Bloch, Sem Dresden, Dick Kattenburg, and Leo Smit, as well as Maurice Ravel.
Dustin Lin will serve as the collaborative pianist.
“This program explores the mark of conflict and political unrest during World War II while offering fleeting glimpses of serenity, ordinary life, and the desire to leave a musical legacy to be remembered,” Simper said.
Simper, from Jacksonville, Florida, has taught flute lessons at Maryville College since 2020 and obtained her master’s in music performance from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. As an advocate for classical music entrepreneurship, she works with the digital education company KE Creative under the title “The Limitless Musician” to teach classical musicians to create modern careers and a sustainable work life.
Her faculty recital is free and open to the public.
