The Southest Horn Workshop, sponsored by the School of Music, will be held Feb. 2-4. This marks the first time the annual Southeast Horn Workshop has been held at UGA. Approximately 150 horn enthusiasts—particularly college musicians—are expected to attend.
The workshop will feature three guest artists: Brice Andrus, principal horn of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; Jerome Ashby, associate principal horn of the New York Philharmonic; and David Jolley, international soloist and chamber musician. These and other regional artists will perform in concerts and conduct master classes. The workshop also includes competitions for student horn players. A complete schedule of public performances and additional information is available on the workshop Web site (www.uga.edu/music/sehw2001/).

David Jolley in concert

David Jolley, acclaimed as one of his generation’s most notable horn players, will perform Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. in Hodgson Hall of the Performing Arts Center as part of the Music Series II. Tickets are $17-$21.
The New York Times described him as a musician of “remarkable virtuosity” and Gramophone magazine has hailed him as “a soloist second to none.”
Jolley recently premiered Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Concerto for Horn and String Orchestra with the Rochester Philharmonic and performed it in Carnegie Hall with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
Jolley holds degrees from the Juilliard School and serves on the faculties of the Manhattan School of Music, the Mannes College of Music, the Hartt School of Music and Queens College–CUNY. He has recorded more than two dozen CDs with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, as well as a series of solo albums.
Jolley’s recital will include le monde miniscule, written for him by Swiss composer Daniel Schnyder. Schnyder says, “When I first started to write le monde miniscule, I already felt very inspired since I knew that David would be playing and recording it. David wanted something special: no ordinary horn piece, but something designed around the possibilities of modern horn playing.”
The recital will also include Villanelle by Dukas, Chabrier’s Larghetto, Poulenc’s Elégie and the Sonata for Horn and Piano by Ewazen.
A pre-concert lecture will be given by John Dressler, professor of music at Kentucky’s Murray State University. The lecture begins 45 minutes prior to the concert and is free to the public.

Georgia Poetry Circuit Reading

Dave Smith, author of two dozen books of poetry, fiction and criticism and co-editor of The Southern Review, will read from his work Jan. 30 at 4:15 p.m. in Demosthenian Hall. Smith is traveling on the Georgia Poetry Circuit, a longstanding consortium of colleges that pool resources to bring the country’s finest poets into the state. His reading at UGA is sponsored by The Georgia Review and the UGA Libraries.
Smith will also participate in a kaffeeklatsch from 9 to 10 a.m. Jan. 31 at the office of the Georgia Review in Gilbert Hall.
Smith has built a strong national reputation by maintaining ties with his native South—beginning with Bull Island, continuing on through such collections as Goshawk, Antelope and Cuba Night, and coming right up to the just published The Wick of Memory: New and Selected Poems. To his many poetry volumes he has added two of fiction, Onliness and Southern Delights, and two of non-fiction, Local Assays: On Contemporary American Poetry and The Essential Poe.
Smith has taught for and directed a number of creative writing programs and is currently the Boyd Professor of English at Louisiana State University, where he and Fred Hobson each edit two issues annually for the quarterly Southern Review, one of the nation’s most highly esteemed journals.
