HSU Music Students in Annual Honors Recital

 A Bach partita, an Offenbach aria, a composition for marimba and John Cage sonatas are among the musical selections on the program for the 2014 HSU Music student Honors Recital on Friday February 7 in Fulkerson Recital Hall. 

 The concert features eleven student players, selected by juried performances after fall semester. Faculty chose representatives from each performance area. “It is like a ‘best of’ showcase for the music students enrolled in studio lessons,” HSU Music professor Elisabeth Harrington explained. 

 The 2014 participants are Kevin Amos (marimba), Justin Santos (guitar), Ryan McGaughey (piano), Craig Hull (trombone), Erin Laetz (flute), Gladys Arechiga (alto saxophone), Ana Cruz (soprano), Levi Walls (piano), Sydney Chandler (horn), Angela Galioto (violin) and Neil Bost (vibraphone.) Staff pianist John Chernoff accompanies many of the selections.

 The 2014 Honors Recital is performed on Friday February 8 at 8 p.m. in Fulkerson Recital Hall. There is no admission charge. A public reception in honor of the players will be held after the concert.
