UA Little Rock music professor to give recital and presentation Wednesday

Dr. Linda Holzer, piano professor at UA Little Rock, will play a one-hour concert and presentation, American Women Composers, for Introduction to Music students at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 25 in the CHARTS Theater. The public is invited to attend the event free of charge.

Dr. Holzer will play 20 minutes of music, show a slide presentation, talk about her experiences as a performer in Austria and Slovenia, and do a question and answer session. Her goal is to share the music of American women composers, especially about Arkansas composer Florence Price.

Dr. Holzer is originally from Chicago. She holds the BMus degree in piano performance from Northwestern University, and the MM degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. An active soloist and chamber musician known for innovative concert programming, she has performed at the John F.
