Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents an online virtual event featuring a lecture with bassoonist and composer Clifton Joseph Guidry III on Thursday, November 5, 2020.

Bassoonist and composer Clifton Joseph Guidry, III will join Virginia Tech in November for a residency that will include two lectures and a solo recital.

This multi-day residency will center around Blackness, radical self love, mental health awareness, and how music connects these movements. Everyone, regardless of experience or degree focus, is welcomed and encouraged to attend the lectures and concert.

The lecture will cover Guidry’s process, and his ongoing work of decolonizing the bassoon within his artistic practice. While the bassoon is known for its role as an orchestral instrument, central to Guidry’s artistic practice is an exploration of the bassoon beyond Eurocentric confines.
