Flutist Kelly Covert, a lecturer in music performance in the School of Music, will give a free faculty recital on Tuesday, March 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hockett Family Recital Hall in the Whalen Center.
The program will include two works for unaccompanied flute -- Bach's Partita in A minor and a contemporary work by Korde, Tenderness of Cranes. Covert will be joined by pianist Charis Dimaras for a sonatine by Rivier and Souvenirs for Piccolo and Piano by Robert Beaser, this year's Karel Husa Visiting Professor of Composition at Ithaca College.
