Dear SCFAC Family,

On Monday, April 17th, at 7:00pm, in UWA Auditorium, come enjoy a free musical performance. It promises to be a memorable night!

Jacob Smith is UWA’s first Music Major graduate in 30 years. He will perform Bach, Handel, Quilter, a set of Great American Songbook selections, and several Sacred duets. 

Accomplices on the program include: Dr. Paul Lee, Piano, Dr. Erik Larson, Oboe, and Dr. Christopher Shelt, Baritone. 

Jacob Smith is a native of Bailey, MS, near Meridian, and seeks to pursue pastoral ministry in the days ahead. Local Livingstonians heard Jacob sing a duet with Dr. Shelt, accompanied by Dr. Lee, at the recent Holy Week services. A multi-disciplined musician, Jacob played trumpet with UWA Bands and sang as a baritone in UWA Choirs during his entire career at UWA.

Recognized by the Music faculty for his giftedness, service, and hard work, Jacob Smith was awarded the Chair’s Commendation for Musical Excellence at the recent Awards Ceremony of the UWA College of Liberal Arts.

Yours to Do Music that Matters!
