Dr. Candice Behrmann Tenney will be playing a guest flute recital at Southern Utah University on Jan. 30 at 4 p.m.
BehrmannTenney will be performing four pieces: “Flute Sonata, op. 94” by Sergei Prokofiev, “In Ireland” by Hamilton Hardy, “Tarantella for Flute and Clarinet” by Camille Saint-Saens, and an arrangement of “Spain” by Chick Corea for flute and soprano saxophone. Faculty from SUU’s Department of Music will provide accompaniment for two of them: “Tarantella for Flute and Clarinet” by Camille Saint-Saens, and an arrangement of Chick Corea’s “Spain” for flute and soprano saxophone. SUU music faculty will provide accompaniment for this recital.

She performs at recitals and master classes throughout the United States, and frequently performs at conventions such as The National Flute Convention and the College Music Society Convention.
“Hearing professional musicians play is a good way to open up students’ ears to the musical possibilities and goals that they should strive for,” said Benjamin Bradshaw, director of woodwind studies at SUU.
BehrmannTenney was a founding member of the Graduate Musicians’ Organization at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she earned a master’s and doctorate degree in music arts.
