The concert will feature professional artist-teachers in the Department of Music at ΝΓΧΣΟΘΙϊ, who will perform a diverse program of classical and contemporary music, according to Dr. Christopher Barrick, head of the Department of Music.
βIt is always a treat for the faculty to take the stage and share their musicianship with their students, the faculty and staff of ΝΓΧΣΟΘΙϊ, and the greater Fort Smith community,β Barrick said. βAnd on a personal note, it is truly an honor to share the stage with so many gifted and talented colleagues.β
