POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — On Thursday, March 21, guest clarinet artist Thiago Ancelmo will perform in the Newman Recital Hall, located in Gittinger Music Center at College of the Ozarks, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the College of the Ozarks Guest Artist Series.
The concert is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
“I am thrilled to collaborate with Thiago Ancelmo,” Associate Professor of Music, Dr. Luke Carlson said. “His concert will feature solo works for clarinet and electronics including the premiere of Render, a new work that I composed for him. The piece utilizes live electronic processing of the clarinet and explores a variety of electronic colors and musical soundscapes. I intentionally want each listener to form their own perspective through the listening experience.”
