Brigham Young University School of Music faculty artist Christian Smith will be performing a free bassoon concert Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Madsen Recital Hall.
Smith will begin the performance by playing Jean-Michel Damase’s “Automne” followed by the Sonata No. 1 for Bassoon and Piano by Laurence Lowe. After a brief intermission, he’ll perform “Soliloquy” by Bernard Garfield and Eric Ewazen’s “Mosaics.”
During the performance, Smith will be accompanied by Jeffrey Shumway on piano, April Clayton on flute and Ron Brough on marimba.
Smith has been teaching at BYU since 1997. In addition to his responsibilities as a bassoon professor, he teaches instrumental conducting, directs the woodwind chamber music program and regularly performs with Orpheus Winds, BYU’s renowned faculty quintet.
