Student musicians display performance talents in recital

Seward, NE (10/25/2019) — Concordia University, Nebraska, will hold its Fall Honor Recital Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., in the Recital Hall of the Music Center on campus.

"We have many, many talented students in the music department, vocalists and instrumentalists alike, and the Honor Recital will show a sampling of them,' said Dr. Elizabeth Grimpo, associate professor of music. "Our students work hard; they are dedicated to their art; they love music; and they feel privileged to share it with an audience."
