NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Deb Scott, assistant professor of trombone at
Stephen F. Austin State University, and Ron Petti, SFA director of
accompanying, will present a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb.
8, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
Other performers on the diverse program of music will be SFA music
faculty members Jennifer Dalmas, Scott Harris, Evgeni Raychev, and SFA
senior Fahad Awan of Nacogdoches.
One of the highlights of the recital will be the world premiere of SFA
Associate Professor Stephen Lias' "River Runner," a three-movement
piece for trombone and piano that Lias wrote for Scott after they and
their spouses shared a thee-day kayaking adventure through the Santa
Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park.
“I am thrilled to be able to bring this to an audience for the first
time, said Scott. “Each of the three movements offers a different lense
or angle of the event. It is a very exciting and beautiful piece that
captures the essence of the trip.”
Scott and Petti will also perform Henri Tomasi's "Concerto," and Harris
will join the duo for Stephen Rush's "Inner Rebellion."
"The latter is the sequel to 'Rebellion,' which I performed in 2007,"
said Scott. "It has the same instrumentation and is also very
energetic, rhythmic and loud."
An active performer and clinician in classical and jazz styles, Scott
teaches trombone and bass trombone at SFA and is the director of the
university's jazz band, The Swingin' Aces.
Currently, she is a member of the SFA Faculty Brass Quintet and
Longview Symphony.
She has also been a member of the Twentieth Century Unlimited Orchestra
in Santa Fe, the New Mexico Music Festival in Taos, the Lubbock
Symphony Orchestra, the Greeley (Col.) Philharmonic and the Barnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth Circus Band.
Scott earned her doctorate in trombone performance from the University
of North Texas, her master's from the University of Northern Colorado
and two bachelor's degrees from Texas Tech University.
The recital is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and
School of Music. Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for
students. For tickets or more information, please visit
