Joiner will perform on clarinet. She will be accompanied by [Mrs. Pam De Haan](https://www.dordt.edu/people/pam-de-haan), tutorial adjunct of music at Dordt.

The recital will begin at 7 p.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium.

According to Joiner, her recital will include “a variety of musical styles, ranging from romantic to Klezmer. Each piece is played in a different style, with some pieces combining multiple.”

“One of my favorite pieces is *Wait a While,* written by Irish saxophonist Kenneth Edge. It combines Irish folk music and Jazz, creating a wild and exciting piece that pays homage to Edge’s heritage,” she adds.

Joiner has been studying under [Dr. Beverly Gibson](https://www.dordt.edu/people/beverly-gibson), tutorial adjunct of music at Dordt, since 2022. She has also received an Honorable Mention in the Iowa MTNA Young Artist Competition.

“Joiner’s recital represents a diverse array of music which will showcase her technical and musical prowess,” says Gibson.
