Collegiate Honors Recital

Manhattan Concert Productions is pleased to announce the first in its new series of Collegiate Honors Recitals. Universities are chosen to have a performance competition in their department, selecting a slate of semi-finalists. The Artistic Director of Manhattan Concert Productions then travels to the university and leads a panel to judge the recital of competing semi-finalists.
The recital series opener belongs to four outstanding musicians from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX – a singer, a pianist, a flutist, and a tubist. They will present the following concert program:
