SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - Slippery Rock University's music department faculty will present their 7th annual Faculty Collaborative Recital at 12:30 p.m., Oct. 12 at SRU's Swope Recital Hall.

"This gives us the chance to perform together while modeling proper performance etiquette for our students, who will begin their Performance Hour performances next week," said Kathleen Melago, associate professor of music education. "We really enjoy the opportunity to get together and perform pieces we might otherwise not get the chance to play. For example, I am looking forward to performing Ian Clarke's work, "Maya," for two flutes and piano with Cassandra Eisenreich and Glenn Utsch."

-"Steam" by Chelsea Komschlies and performed on piano by Eisenreich and clarinet by Candice Kiser, instructor of music.
-"Pierrot's Tanzlied" by Erich Konhold and "Marry Me a Little" by Stephen Sondheim and performed on piano by Utsch with vocal accompaniment by Christopher Scott, assistant professor of music.
