Anthony Arnone, associate professor of cello in the University of Iowa School of Music, will perform with pianist Martha Eckey, a UI School of Music alumna and current UI College of Pharmacy student, at 3 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 14, in Riverside Recital Hall on the UI campus.

The program is free and open to the public.

Arnone and Eckey will perform an all-Russian program, featuring Glazunov's "Chant du Ménestral," Miaskovsky’s Cello Sonata No. 1 in D major, and Rachmaninoff’s Sonata in G minor.

Arnone has collaborated with many of today’s great chamber ensembles and artists, including members of the Pro Arte Quartet, Cypress Quartet, Fry Street Quartet, and Arianna Quartet. Performances have taken him around the United States and Europe to many of the leading concert venues as soloist, chamber musician, and conductor.
