Music Honors Recital Winners Announced
The students will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 15, at the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center. The recital is free and open to the public, free tickets will be availble at the door, one hour before performance time. The recital will include chamber music and solo performances with collaborative artists.
The 2018 winners are: Dale Alimena (euphonium), Cody Hutchison (euphonium), Nicholas Liebl (tuba), David Gonzalez (tuba), Dylan Adkins (horn), Lisa Kulczak (mezzo-soprano), Hannah Rodriguez (soprano), Fiona Slaughter (oboe), Rosabelle Zhou (clarinet), Jae Yeon Chang (clarinet), Nathan Barker (clarinet), and Morgen Cavanah (soprano).
The Music Honors Recital started as a celebration of the arts in the 1980s and continues today. Once housed in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center, the recital, now in its 36th year, will be given in the Faulkner Performance Arts Center. This move symbolizes the growth of the arts on campus and in the wider Northwest Arkansas community. Along those lines, the Department of Music has partnered with Haxton Road Studios of Bentonville to record the winners of the honors competition. Their recordings will be deposited in the University Libraries archives and these professional studio recordings will be used to aid in the students’ future endeavors. The Department is proud of these remarkable students and so the faculty continue the tradition of the Music Honors Recital to support the best among our student body.
