ABILENE, Texas — While it might not be the most well known instrument, the bassoon is celebrated by musicians for its impressive lower tone range.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Sept. 14, Abilene Christian University instructor of double reeds Dr. Janelle Ott will be showcasing her bassoon skills during a live musical performance at Eldon Black Recital Hall.
Ott is an avid musician and she has been involved with ASU since 2019.
Before her time at the university, Ott worked in Plano at Collins College and she studied bassoon performance at the University of North Texas where she received a Doctor of Musical Arts degree.
During the course of her career, Ott has performed in multiple states across the U.S. and with multiple ensembles, including the San Angelo Symphony, Abilene Symphony and Midland-Odessa Symphony.
On the night of her performance, Ott will be playing four different pieces, including "In Freundschaft" and "Fantasy for Bassoon," to name a few.
The concert will be free of charge.
