Official video of our November 15, 2021 concert. Many thanks to Sherry Heflin, Kate Pedrotty and Emma Oertling for capturing the performance and the Hurley School of Music and Dean Wikan for allowing us to perform in Anderson Auditorium with audience/orchestra following covid protocols.
Congratulations to Corey Bowe on his world premier of “Tragedy” and to the orchestra for a night of beautiful performances. So proud of you.

Students and faculty at Hurley School of Music have collaborated to produce “Colors of Love,” a cabaret-style performance bringing together works from operas and musicals.
“Colors of Love” will be presented live for a Centenary audience only on Friday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the College’s Anderson Auditorium. Seating is limited to 50 and will be first come, first served.
For non-Centenary audiences, the performance will be live streamed on the Hurley School of Music page.
Since Christmas is approaching, and we aren't in school during the season this year, I thought it would be a good time to publish the Hurley Wassail recipe for all (especially since I saw two alums on Facebook yesterday, talking about it!).
This will be the first time in many years that the smells of apple cider and cinnamon and orange won't be wafting through the halls of Hurley during finals. It's hard to believe that I searched for a recipe to serve during a reception for a Camerata concert in December of 1983, and it became a tradition for us. I hope some of you will make this recipe this year in memory of the many young musicians and teachers of the Hurley School of Music who drank this while they finished exams every fall. Merry Christmas to all!
Alumni Spotlight: Janani Sridhar (AD Vocal Performance '20) started a new position this fall as Visiting Assistant Professor of Voice at Centenary College in the Hurley School of Music! In addition to teaching, she is performing in a chamber music series with Carrefour Chamber Music Project and presented at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Southern Region conference in October.
I am so thrilled that my proposal was selected for the National Association of Teachers of Singing conference (Southern Region) this fall. This is my very first conference as a presenter! :) It will be held virtually this year, so I had to pre-record both the spoken and performed portions of my lecture recital. Shoutout to Erika Supria Honisch for introducing me to Loom, and to Gay Grosz for stepping in to be my musical collaborator!

Best of luck to all of my students who are competing in the NATS competition in Southern Arkansas University in Jonesboro, AR. (NATS is National Association for Teachers of Singing...it's kind of a big deal).
Did you know that Mozart did musical theatre before it was cool? In this lecture reciti, we will compare the 18th century concert aria to contemporary musical theatre songs, and explore the similarities and differences of these two styles and their lasting popularity.
