Hi, everyone.
Greetings from the University
of Tennessee School of Music.
If we've not had a chance to meet I'm
Jeff Pappas, the director of the school.
Our beautiful Natalie L.
Haslam Music Center is a bit
quieter than it normally would be
at the beginning of a semester.
The pandemic is going to be shutting down
the majority of our concerts and events.
But that is not going to stop us
from reaching out to you every Friday
with some brief performances and
lectures by our faculty and students.
But just to remind you that we're here
and that the power of music perseveres.
To get our virtual concert and lecture
series kicked off, we have professor
Hillary Herndon, violist, and Dr.
Jorge Variego, a member of our music
theory faculty, performing the second
movement of Kenji Bunch's Four Flashbacks.
If you lose the link to your
email, these performances will also
be on our social media accounts
that you'll see on this screen.
And if you have any questions, feel
free to email me @jpappas3utk.edu.
That's the email at the bottom
of the screen, jpappas3@utk.edu.
I'll be happy to answer them
even over this virtual means.
So I look forward to hearing from
you and as we always say, go Vols
and let's add right now, welcome
back to the School of Music.
Our second and final performance
this week will be by our bassoon
professor, Jessica Findley Yang.
She'll be performing the third movement
of Adolphus Hailstork's "Bassoon
Set," titled Lento e teneramente.
