Student experience, faculty excellence, and community building.
- Brought the world-renowned chamber ensemble Genghis Barbie onto campus for the Festival of Contemporary Artists in Music. The group played a concert of popular and classic tunes (Lady Gaga and Eurhythmics included), and met with our horn students for a master class.
- Purchased $28K in instruments used by music education majors to learn how to play all instruments. Instruments purchased include flutes, clarinets, and general music education instruments for K-5 learning.
- Purchased a used grand piano for students and faculty to use. The instrument was cared for by piano technician, Tim Wirth, and premiered at our Fridays at the Clock series in late July.
