Music Faculty Active Internationally
Jul 28, 2008 Keyboard, Music Tech
Music students at UCM frequently cite the faculty as the greatest strength of the department, and all of our professors are well-known throughout the state and region as expert musicians and dedicated teachers. Over the past several years, more and more of our faculty have developed reputations for excellence around the nation and even internationally. The 2006-07 issue of Overture featured an article about double reeds professor Sheri Mattson’s trip to Ukraine. This year, several faculty members performed abroad: Alan Wenger toured the United Kingdom with the national award-winning Fountain City Brass Band and Kenneth Wood performed in Bulgaria. Carla Jo Maltas presented at the Victorian Orff Schulwerk Association Conference in Melbourne, Australia. Mia Hynes and Eric Honour were each kind enough to provide stories and pictures from their performances in Serbia, Paris, and Greece.
