Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents Music on Mondays with the concert titled "In the company of Benny Goodman - The King of Swing" on Monday, September 20, 2021 at Squires Recital Salon on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Clarinetist Yevgeny Dokshansky and pianist Hsiang Tu, both Virginia Tech faculty members of the School of Performing Arts, will return to the "Music on Mondays" series with a duo recital featuring the works of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), and Paquito D’Rivera (1948-) that have a connection to one of the most well-known clarinetists of the 20th century — Benny Goodman, AKA 'The King of Swing.'

Goodman, the son of Jewish immigrants, fell in love with the clarinet at an early age, and received his early classical music training in Chicago. Even though Goodman eventually made his name in the jazz world, he never lost his connection to the classical repertoire he was trained in, appearing regularly as a soloist and chamber musician in the works of Brahms, Bartok, Copland, and Weber.
