Free piano recital at Spivey hall

The Clayton College & State University Department of Music will host pianist Dr. Carla McElhaney for a guest artist recital Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the university's world-renowned Spivey Hall.

Included on the program will be works by Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Piazzolla, Ginastera and others. Admission is free.

McElhaney is a frequent recitalist and has appeared widely as a soloist, collaborative artist and ensemble pianist. She holds performance degrees from Eastman School of Music (B.M. 1989) and the University of Texas at Austin (M.M. 1992, D.M.A. 1998).

Her interpretive skills and versatility as a performer have made McElhaney a favored participant in premiers by such notable living composers as John Harbison, Paul Chihara and Donald Grantham. Her recording credits include "Finesse" with saxophonist Todd Oxford (Equilibrium), and the University of Texas Wind Ensemble Live in Carnegie Hall (Mark Custom Recordings).

McElhaney has served on the piano faculty of the University of Texas at Austin, and is currently assistant professor of piano at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Oh.
