Dr. Douglas Jurs, Associate Professor of Piano Performance and Pedagogy at Elon University in North Carolina, joins the UF School of Music for a guest artist recital Monday, September 16 at 7:20 PM.
Dr. Jurs will present a program featuring Beethoven’s “Tempest” Sonata and beloved classics by Debussy, Gershwin, Liszt, and Schubert.
He has performed throughout the United States, China, India, New Zealand, and Canada, where in early 2020 he was Musician in Residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, preparing world premieres by Iranian composer Aftab Darvishi and American composer Daniel Temkin.
Dr. Jurs can be heard alongside clarinetist Matthew Nelson on “All My Diamond Tears,” a recently released Centaur label recording and winner of a 2023 Global Music Awards Silver Medal. Other recent collaborative partners include Minnesota-based soprano Jennifer Lien, San Francisco’s Alexander String Quartet, and violist and UF’s own Lauren Burns Hodges.
