Professor to present faculty recital
Performance will include Beethoven, Brahm
Dr. Sheila Schmitt will present a faculty piano recital, beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Tabor College Chapel-Auditorium, Hillsboro.
Schmitt will perform Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonata in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3 and Johannes Brahms' Sonata in F Minor, Op. 5.
"My original intention for the program was to follow the stylistic growth of the sonata form, starting with the classical era," she said. However, because of length, the program will end after the Romantic era.
The public is invited to attend.
Schmitt serves as assistant professor of piano and piano pedagogy at Tabor College. She received her doctor of musical arts in piano performance from University of Kansas, a master of music in piano performance and pedagogy from University of Colorado and a bachelor of music degree from Houghton College.
She also has studied in Germany and at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, England.
Her primary instructors have included Jack Winerock, Richard Angeletti, C. Nolan Huizenga, Robert Spillman, and Doloras Gadevsky. She continues to perform as soloist and as accompanist for various recitals and often has served as an adjudicator and clinician.
