It’s a change of pace for OFTA on Wed. September 13th at 10:00 AM in the Buchanan Center for the Arts. We have not done much in the music area for a while so here comes a toe tapping crowd pleaser.
Our presentation is titled “The Duke” (Ellington not Wayne)
It will cover the life, career, and music of one of America’s most respected Jazz icons.
Our presenter and performer will be Ms. Julia Andrews. She is new to Monmouth this fall but she will not be unfamiliar for long. She will be teaching group piano at Monmouth College and accompanying studio lessons, recitals, convocations, and juries. She has also just taken a position as Chorus Manager for the Galesburg Community Chorus. In addition to performing in classical and jazz ensembles, she teaches private lessons and is a free-lance arranger.
Andrews graduated with the Master of Music degree from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and received two Bachelor’s of Music degrees in piano and music theory from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. While at Texas Tech, she was a Presser Scholar for excellence in music and was the Highest Ranked Undergraduate in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. She has been active in the Music Teachers National Association and recently served on the Nebraska Music Teacher’s State Board. She is a strong advocate of community music schools.
