Dr. Sharon Hudson will perform the second of four Piano Camp Faculty Recitals on Tuesday, June 14 at 3:00 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall. The emphasis of this year's piano camp is American Music, hence all of the faculty will be concentrating their performance efforts in this area. Dr. Hudson's program will feature Charles Ives' Piano Sonata No. 2, "Concord, Mass., 1840-1860." The work will include collaboration with guest flutist Nicole Carrion.

Tickets for this Department of Music event will be sold at the door only. General admission is $5 for all attendees other than Piano Workshop participants.
