newly composed music and the music of Clayton State composers. All works

State Department of Music and an accomplished saxophonist who frequently

appears in solo saxophone recitals across the United States. A proponent

of new music, Graves frequently features the music of America's prominent

contemporary composers in recitals. Arrell, a new addition to the Clayton

State Music faculty, holds a doctor of musical arts degree from Cornell

University and has received numerous composition awards.
