NOV. 1 RECITAL BY FLUTIST LITTLE WILL FEATURE 20TH CENTURY SONATAS
Lipscomb University’s Jerome Reed Will Serve as Guest Pianist for Free, Open Performance

(MURFREESBORO)—Deanna Little, MTSU professor of flute, and pianist Jerome A. Reed will perform a free and open recital at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, in the T. Earl Hinton Music Hall of the Wright Music Building on the MTSU campus.
The program will include sonatas by Erwin Schulhoff, Samuel Zyman and Denis Bedard.
“These are all 20th century sonatas and are repertoire for a CD that (Reed) and I will be recording (later) this academic year,” Little said.
In addition to the sonatas, the duo will perform a standard French work called Sonatine by Henri Dutilleux. Hahn will also present a solo piccolo work by Laurence Trott titled Bird Fancier's Delight, which will be accompanied by photographs of the birds being depicted by the work.
A professor of music at Lipscomb University, Reed provides private piano and composition lessons, coaches the University String Ensemble at Lipscomb and teaches classroom courses in piano literature and pedagogy. He holds a doctorate and master’s degree in piano performance from the Catholic University of America and a bachelor’s degree in music from MTSU.
As a professor at MTSU, Little currently teaches applied flute, classes in woodwind methods, literature and pedagogy and directs the MTSU Flute Choir. As an active performer, Little is a member of the Stones River Chamber Players and a frequent guest on Nashville's WPLN Live from Studio C radio broadcasts. She has performed with the Nashville Symphony and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra.
