School of Music Faculty Gala Friday, September 7, 2012
“Celebrating 20 years of the Faculty Gala in 2012 represents an important milestone for the School of Music, illustrating the importance of continuity along with the vitality of change and renewal.” - Dean Christopher Doane
“The Faculty Gala has always been regarded as a highlight of the academic year for our performing faculty. They see it as a chance to give back to the community who has supported our concerts and the work of our students for so many years. In the twenty years since Herbert Koerselman began our Faculty Galas, I can't recall one repeat performance, and each year we all strive to find a work that will be as fun or beautifully lush for the audience as it is for us as performers to prepare. It has become a celebration of all the wonderful musical contributions that our School of Music provides to the university and local communities.” - Associate Dean Naomi Oliphant
