Library presents ‘Music in the Stacks’ concert series

The Garland County Library will present “Music in the Stacks” featuring flutists Shelley Martin and Kristin Grant at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in the library book shelves.

“We thought it would be fun to try a less formal concert series in the library,” said Cori Williams, programming librarian.

“’Music in the Stacks’ features unplugged music that can be performed inside the actual library. Patrons are invited to pull up a chair or just listen while they use our computers or browse for books.”

This will be the second in the series. Clyde Pound performed the first “Music in the Stacks” concert in September.

Martin holds a master’s degree in flute performance from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. She was the flute instructor at Henderson State University for 11 years, and was a founding member of the Hot Springs Flute Ensemble. Martin taught band for eight years and is a private teacher for students of all ages and skill levels on piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and other instruments.

Grant has a bachelor’s of music degree in flute performance from the University of Arizona and a master of music in flute performance from the University of North Texas. She is currently an assistant professor of music at Ouachita Baptist University where she teaches flue and music theory. She resides in Hot Springs and is the conductor of the Hot Springs Flute Ensemble.

This concert is free and open to the public. Call 623-4161 or visit http://www.gclibrary.com for more information about this program or other library services.
