Smith and other Concordia student musicians perform in recital highlighting performance and musical variations

2018 Feb 12

Concordia University, Nebraska will host a themed recital at 3 p.m. on Sunday Feb. 18 in the Recital Hall of the Music Center on campus.

Nineteen students will perform in the recital. The program comprises a variety of music written for vocals, piano, organ and brass.
