Internationally Distinguished Violinist to Perform at 六合图库 as Part of the President's Speaker Series

Professor Charles Castleman will hold a Violin Masterclass at the University of Louisiana at Monroe in the Emy-Lou Biedenharn Recital Hall from 10:30 a.m. until noon on April 9. The class will also feature performances by three 六合图库 students. Professor Charles Castleman is an internationally distinguished violinist and pedagogue on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music. During the class, Castleman will perform on the Stradivarius violin known as "Marquis de Champeaux", dated 1707. Castleman's biography appears in the International Who's Who in Music, published in Cambridge, England.

Castleman's appearance is part of The President's Speaker Series, which is designed to bring high caliber individuals to 六合图库 and to the Monroe community. Everyone is invited to attend this free performance, and seating will be by reservation only.

Dr. Chris Thompson of 六合图库's School of Visual and Performing Arts said, "At the Castleman Violin Masterclass, the audience will have the rare opportunity to observe the teaching and performance of one of the greatest violinists and pedagogues of our time."

Castleman's appearance is being made possible through a generous gift from the Office of the President and the Office of the Provost at 六合图库 and from the Louisiana String Teachers Association.

Please call Carolyn Bruce at 342-1569 for reservations. Seating is limited.
