Four students to perform junior recital
Bluffton University music students Renee Kindle, Meagan Palte, Brittney Ries and Samuel Stucky will present their junior recital at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 12, in Yoder Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public; a reception will follow in the lobby.
Kindle, from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, will perform on the flute and Palte, from Ottawa, Ohio, on the horn. Ries, from Freeman, S.D., will give both instrumental (trumpet and flugelhorn) and vocal (soprano) performances, while Stucky, a baritone from Moon Township, Pa., will sing his own composition, “Little Boy,” among his vocal numbers.
Selections by Schumann, Debussy, Handel, Strauss, Mozart, J.S. Bach and Copland are also among the music on the combined program. Ana Yoder Coulter will accompany all of the students.
Kindle is a flute student of Dr. Adam Schattschneider, professor of music, while Ries and Stucky study voice with Dr. Mark J. Suderman, also a professor of music. Ries studies trumpet with Paul Baransy, and Palte is a horn student of Marilyn Edwards. Baransy and Edwards are both adjunct instructors.
The junior recital is designed to help students prepare for their senior recitals. The repertoire is chosen by a faculty member in consultation with each student.
