This year's program includes outstanding University of Arkansas student artists from nine different studios in the Department.
The 2019 winners include Donald Bohanon-Gauthier (graduate flute student), Ismaelena Serrano (graduate voice and choral conducting student), Clayre Parson (music minor), Tony Dutton (undergraduate voice major), Isaac Baker (undergraduate voice major), Katelyn Barry (undergraduate oboe major), Ryan Moos (graduate euphonium student), Jackie Tavernaro (undergraduate percussion student), Charles Hartman (undergraduate cello major), Raquel King (advanced certificate voice student), Landon Cole (graduate saxophone student), Grant Hollis (undergraduate saxophone major), Benjamin Turner (undergraduate saxophone major), Mikhail Silcox (undergraduate saxophone major), Bailey Ross (undergraduate saxophone major), and Ryan Miller (undergraduate saxophone major).
Congratulations to the distinguished students, who were chosen to perform! For the second year, the Department of Music will award the "Audience Prize" to one of the performances at the recital. This prize is selected based on an audience vote at the end of the performance, with the winner being named at a reception directly following the concert.
