(MURFREESBORO)–Nicholas del Grazia (clarinet) and Chris Lysack (piano) will perform a free and open recital at 6 p.m. March 16 in the T. Earl Hinton Music Hall of the Wright Music Building on the MTSU campus.
"Dr. Del Grazia is a world-class musician who is bringing an exciting program which will include works by Italian composers, his specialty,” said Todd Waldecker, associate professor of clarinet at MTSU.
The duo will perform the Italian works Nino Rota’s Sonata in D, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Sonata Op. 128 and Johannes Brahms’ Sonata Op. 120 No 2 in Eb.
Del Grazia has appeared as a soloist, orchestral and chamber musician throughout the United States, England, Austria and Italy. Composer Shulamit Ran has described him "from every conceivable point of view ... an absolute HIT!" He studied clarinet at City University in London and the Guildhall School of Music. Del Grazia also obtained a master's degree in music theory and analysis from King's College London and a doctor of music degree from Indiana University.
Originally from Vancouver, pianist Lysack studied at Indiana University School of Music, where he received graduate degrees in piano and
French literature. He is in demand as a performer throughout North America, from Vancouver to Florida, and has premiered more than 15 new compositions spanning from solo piano with tape to orchestral works.
