VALDOSTA \u2014 Linda A. Cionitti, clarinetist, will perform at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8, in Valdosta State University\u2019s Whitehead Auditorium. The guest artist recital is free of charge and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Described as an \u201cextraordinarily fine\u201d clarinet player by MusicWeb International (http:\/\/www.musicweb-international.com<\/span><\/span><\/a>), Cionitti is a professor of music at Georgia Southern University, where she has taught for 26 years.

Both pieces were considered for a Grammy Award nomination the following year. VSU\u2019s own Maila Gutierrez Springfield, an instructor in the Department of Music and award-winning pianist who maintains an active performance schedule with the Maharlika Trio, accompanied Cionitti on the latter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was honored to be a part of her CD,\u201d said Springfield, who will once again accompany Cionitti when she performs at VSU.<\/p>\n

\u201cLinda is a fantastic\u00a0musician. Before coming to VSU, I worked with her at Georgia Southern University. We have collaborated many times, performing at national and international clarinet festivals. I am excited to bring her to VSU.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program lineup includes music composed by Eugene Bozza, Victor Babin, Elliot Del Borgo, Piotr Szewczyk, Louis Cahuzac, Carlos Guastavino, James M. David, and Faustin and Maurice Jeanjean.<\/p>\n
