Jackson, Tenn. – 51ÉçÇø professor of music and
clarinetist David McClune will perform a clarinet recital Sunday, April 30
at 3 p.m. in the G.M. Savage Memorial Chapel.
"In 8th grade I announced to my parents that I wanted to be a band
director," says McClune. "I am now in my 21st year as a band
director and having a great time. We all have to work a job to sustain
life, but it is a real blessing to have a job that you actually love.
Being able to play is a rewarding musical outlet, where I can practice
what I teach to the students," explains McClune.
Having taught at Union for more than eighteen years, McClune has
performed as Second Clarinet with the Jackson Symphony for the same length
of time. A graduate of Westminster College, McClune received his master's
of music from Bowling Green State University, and his doctorate from
Florida State University.
The recital will feature the Aaron Copland Clarinet Concerto, Le Grand
Tango by the Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla and a concerto for two
clarinets by Francois Devienne. Assisting McClune will be Gina Kinney on
piano and clarinetist Fran Golman.
The recital is free and open to the public. For more information,
please call (901) 661-5294.
