PIANO RECITALL

On Tuesday evening the college is hosting a piano recital in the Elizabeth Coker Watson Theater. Here is what Dr. Jun Sato said as she announced this concert:

Piano Recital

Dr. Charles Fugo, Professor of Piano at the University of South Carolina, will be performing a solo piano recital tonight at 7:30pm in Watson Theater. Admission is free to the public.

Dr. Fugo is one of the most imaginative performers I’ve heard and his recital program for tonight highlights this quality in his playing. The recital includes works by the following composers: Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Mozart and Scarlatti. Dr. Fugo has an extensive tonal palette and is also one of the few pianists I know who is willing to take risks to achieve the most effective way of communicating music. I promise it will be a treat for everyone who loves to hear live performance.

Art Exhibition

Heather Freeman's mixed media art exhibit opened on Monday night and is on display at the Gallery in the Art Department on campus. Here is a some of what was said in announcing this exhibit:

Ms. Freeman’s exhibition of mixed media prints (ink, graphite and watercolor over digital print on watercolor paper) opens with a reception in the Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery tonight at 7:00.
