A special musical event is set to captivate audiences at Georgia Southern University, where the Fred and Dinah Gretsch School of Music presents an exclusive Faculty Violin Recital. Scheduled for Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m., the performance will take place in the Carol A. Carter Recital Hall on the Statesboro Campus, welcoming all attendees free of charge. This gathering promises a night filled with harmonious melodies crafted by masterful hands.
The recital showcases the incredible talent of Dr. Larisa Elisha, an internationally acclaimed violinist, alongside pianist Dr. Cameron Fuhrman. Together, they will interpret a collection of timeless compositions, including works from Brahms and Beethoven. The program also features Manuel Ponce’s enchanting piece "Estrellita." In addition to the main concert, these performances will travel to other venues, including a church in Dublin on April 28 and another in Savannah on May 9, extending the reach of their artistry. Dr. Elisha, known for her extensive global performances and affiliations with prestigious orchestras, brings decades of experience to this stage, while Dr. Fuhrman complements the evening with her dynamic and scholarly approach to music.
Musical excellence thrives within the halls of Georgia Southern’s School of Music, as exemplified by this extraordinary event. The community is invited to witness firsthand the brilliance of two distinguished artists who have graced stages worldwide. This occasion not only celebrates the universal language of music but also underscores the profound impact that dedicated educators and performers can have on enriching cultural experiences locally and beyond.
