AU School of Music Presents: The Marion B. Howe Memorial Concert Series and Composition Commission
February 3, 2023
Alliance University School of Music is humbled and honored to be the recipient of a generous gift from the Marion B. Howe estate. Prof. Howe demonstrated a lifelong commitment to Christian living, high artistic standards, impeccable taste, and a dedication to enriching the minds and souls of her students. The School of Music will honor her legacy by presenting the Marion B. Howe Memorial Concert Series and Composition Commission. In the late 60’s, Prof. Howe created the Fine Arts Series at Nyack College, which presented top notch international and American music groups, soloists and art exhibits. This upcoming concert series in 2023 aims to bring a high-caliber and diverse roster of performers to enhance teaching and learning within our university and broader community.
