Please come out and support our student composers by attending a recital of their compositions on Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 3:00 PM in Dana Auditorium at Queens University of Charlotte (in the E.H. Little Fine Arts Building at the corner of Selwyn and Wellesley Avenues). There will be a reception in the lobby after the recital.
These students entered CMTA's Beethoven Composition Event chaired by Susan Kincaid and their compositions were critiqued by Dr. John Valerio, who teaches composition, music theory and technology at the University of South Carolina.
I look forward to hearing these students perform their compositions on Sunday.
