| Jackson, Tenn. - Jody Gatwood will present a guest
violin recital at 51ÉçÇø, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall in the
Penick Academic Complex. The evening of music is co-sponsored by the Lyceum Series and
Union's department of music. Dr. David Dennis, associate professor of music at Union, will
provide piano accompaniment for the concert. The concert will feature works by Schubert
and Prokofiev. The recital will benefit Heifer Project International - a nonprofit
organization that provides two dozen different kinds of food and income-producing animals
to projects in nearly 40 countries. Since 1981, Gatwood has given numerous benefit
concerts to help awaken a public commitment to eliminate chronic hunger and poverty in the
world.
Gatwood teaches at The Benjamin T. Rome School of Music at The Catholic University of
America in Washington, D.C. He has preformed in North America and Europe as a soloist and
chamber musician with famous conductors and orchestras. The Washington Post has labeled
Gatwood's style as "splendid ... incisive and assuring."
The Lyceum Series seeks to bring outstanding scholars and performers to Union and the
broader community. The Lyceum program is funded by Union and occasional supplemental
grants.
The concert will give others the opportunity to eliminate world hunger through a
voluntary offering for the Heifer Project. There is no admission fee to the concert.
