SHAWNEE -- Morgan Gordon, an Oklahoma Baptist University senior from Lexington, has been selected as one of eight students to perform as part of the university's 36th annual Concerto-Aria Concert. The annual concert will begin at 8:30 p.m. Monday in Raley Chapel's Potter Auditorium. The public is invited to attend the free event.
A music education voice major, Gordon is the daughter of Angela Lind and Randy Gordon. She will sing during "Una Voce Poco Fa," composed by Gioachino Rossini. Gordon serves as president of MENC; she is also a member of Chorale, Pi Kappa Lambda, Phi Eta Sigma and the Bisonettes.
Conductors of the concert are Dr. Jim Hansford, OBU's Burton Patterson professor of music and director of bands, and Dr. David DeSeguirant, OBU associate professor of music and director of choral activities.
"The Concerto-Aria venue presents OBU's music students with an opportunity to experience the professional world of music performance as pre-professional undergraduate musicians," DeSeguirant said. "Often, students are repeat performers and the audition process inspires them to learn new repertoire they might otherwise not experience. Additionally, the potential of performing on the Concerto-Aria program provides a goal that is challenging and ultimately enriching."
