The first Clinch Valley Concert Series performance of the year is next week! Please join us!

The thirty-two piano sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven are universally recognized as monumental masterpieces, for they are not only central to every pianist’s repertoire, but also integral to the history of Western music. In an all-Beethoven program featuring five of his sonatas, pianist Ryan Fogg will showcase the evolution of the composer's unmistakably individualistic style. Dr. Fogg will perform on Thursday, Sept. 12th at 7 p.m. in Cantrell Hall at UVA Wise. The concert is free and open to all. For more information and to make reservations, please visit proartva.org.

Dr. Fogg is Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard Studies at Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where he teaches a wide range of courses, including applied piano, piano literature, piano ensemble, theory, and ear training.

The concert is brought to you in conjunction with the Clinch Valley Concert Series. UVA Wise Music ❤️

The UVA Wise Music family was deeply saddened today to learn of the passing of one of our own. Chris Rose was a part of our program as an instructor of guitar for 14 years, and the connections he made with our students, staff, faculty, and community are beyond what can be adequately expressed in words. We will miss him deeply, and our hearts go out to his family and the many people who are affected by his passing.
