Gentry, who just completed a week as concertmaster of the Sugar Creek Symphony and Song Festival, will perform Mozart's Sonata in B flat minor, accompanied on piano by music professor Paul Borg; Eugène Ysaÿe's unaccompanied Sonata in A minor; and Prokofiev's Sonata in D major, accompanied by local pianist Momoko Gresham.
A doctoral graduate of Indiana University, Gentry graduated magna cum laude from Louisiana State University and has her master of music degree from Yale University. In addition to her university academic duties, Gentry is concertmaster of the Illinois Opera Orchestra, first violinist of the ISU Faculty Quartet and violinist of Illinois State's Ricard Trio. She has served as concertmaster of the Baroque Artists of Champaign-Urbana and for seven years was assistant concertmaster of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra.
