Faculty Recital: Julie Whittington McCoy

Clip art of musical G clefJulie Whittington McCoy, soprano, will perform a solo recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, titled “Sometimes I Feel,” accompanied by pianist Mark Stamper and Terri Sundberg on alto flute. The event will be presented in Martin Hall and is free and open to the public.

     The program will include Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a James Agee portrait in which the narrator describes sitting on the lawn with his family as a child; Alabado, a passion scene in Spanish by James Santa Fe Galloway; and some selected American spirituals. McCoy, whose philosophy is that classical music is not “precious or something that only certain people can understand or relate to,” will follow last year’s masterful and well-received faculty recital.

     For more details, contact the Department of Music at (817) 531-4992 or visit us on the Web at http://www.txwes.edu/music/music/index.htm.
