Current Stetson music students, both chamber ensembles and soloists, will have the opportunity to audition for a slot on the concert in New York City. The competition will be adjudicated by a panel of internationally acclaimed artists in the historic Lee Chapel on the DeLand campus of Stetson University. Jamie Clark, D.M.A, assistant professor of cello and coordinator of chamber music, is coordinating the competition and performance.
“An opportunity to perform in one of the most prestigious concert halls in the nation is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any undergraduate student,” said Lynn Musco, D.M.A, professor of clarinet and coordinator of woodwinds. “The musical and personal growth is indescribable.”
“Participating in this competition will challenge us to reach new levels of musicianship in order to perform at an outstanding level,” added current Stetson student Olivia Corporon, violinist in the Barron String Quartet.
“The professional development and experiential learning activities that music students experience during their residency at Stetson are incomparable,” commented Washington Garcia, D.M.A, dean of the Stetson School of Music. “Students attending our programs have access to unique academic and artistic opportunities focused on student-centeredness and community engagement.”
Ticket sales to attend the performance will soon be open to the entire community.
