The School of Music, Theater, and Dance is extremely fortunate to host powerhouse speaker and pianist Jade Simmons this weekend for a special MLK tribute event. It won’t just be a concert, it will be an EXPERIENCE!
SMTD had this to say about the event:
“SMTD is proud to host Jade Simmons, a classical pianist who has taken her career outside the borders of classical music. Through her exciting musical keynote, she will inspire artists to unleash purpose beyond the stage. Jade will be joined by SMTD violin and composition student, Stuart Carlson. Stuart was one of 5 winners of the 2016 VSA International Young Soloists Competition. He will be performing his arrangement of Amazing Grace, accompanied by Jade Simmons.”
Jade Simmons gave a talk to Music students earlier this week, and I was completely blown away by her passion, presence, and perspective as she explained how every individual possesses the ability to unlock his/her unique purpose. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say through music!
The performance will be Sunday, January 15th, from 4-6:30pm in Stamps Auditorium, which is located in the Walgreen Drama Center.
Tickets are FREE but must be reserved online here. Don’t miss this exciting performance!!
