HLGU Collaborates with Tabor College for Recital

The Hannibal-LaGrange University Music Department is hosting a master class at 10 am and a recital at 7 pm on Friday, January 19, in the Roland Fine Arts Center.

Dr. Jen Stephenson serves as assistant professor of music, director of vocal studies, and director of opera at Tabor College. She teaches voice and directs the women’s chorus, Concerto Bella Voce. Stephenson has performed internationally with France’s Opera du Perigord and Les Chanteurs de Saint Eustache, and Austria’s Classical Music Festival, as well as in the United States with New Century Opera.
