The recital will alsofeature world-renowned pianist Jeffrey Hellmer, director of the jazz orchestra at the University ofTexas in Austin.
Admission is free.
Tuesday's recital will feature classical selections in the first half of the program and jazzselections, accompanied by bass and drums, following intermission. The program is half classical and half jazz so we can explore both parts. Jeff and I feel theyare equally important art forms. He earned his bachelor'sdegree in music education at the University of South Carolina and his master's degree in saxophoneperformance at the University of Texas at Austin. He performs regularly with the Corpus Christi Symphony on bass clarinet, e-flat clarinetand saxophones.
