Lee University will welcome pianist Dr. Ryan Fogg for a guest recital on Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Squires Recital Hall, located in the Humanities Center on Lee’s campus.

Fogg, known for blending technical clarity and polished sensitivity into his playing, will perform a sampling of piano music by Frédéric Chopin, such as “Prelude in F-sharp major, Op. 28, No. 13,” “Nocturne in E major, Op. 62, No. 2,” “Mazurka in C-sharp minor, Op. 50, No. 3,” “Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52,” and “Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. 58.”

Along with being an accomplished solo recitalist, Fogg is also a chamber musician, collaborative pianist, and concerto soloist. He has also published multiple articles on various music topics in “Clavier Companion,” “American Music Teacher,” and “Piano Pedagogy Forum.” He has also released a CD, “The Fogg Project.”

Fogg currently serves as a professor of music and director of keyboard studies at Carson-Newman University, where he won the Teaching Excellence and Leadership Award and the Faculty Creativity Award. Along with teaching, he is on the Executive Board of the Tennessee Music Teachers Association and presents masterclasses, workshops, and lectures at institutions and conferences.

Fogg earned his Doctor of Musical Arts in piano performance from the University of Texas at Austin, his Master of Music from The University of Houston, and his Bachelor of Music with distinction from East Texas Baptist University.

The recital is free, non-ticketed, and open to the public. It will also be available to watch via livestream.
