A Night at the Meyerson

KEENE, TEX. – Southwestern Adventist University will celebrate its 125th academic year with the world premiere of American composer Craig Courtney’s newest work at the the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center on February 10 in Dallas. Commissioned for the Southwestern Music Festival, Courtney will be in attendance and work with the musicians in preparation for the annual A Night at the Meyerson performance.

The Southwestern Music Festival is dedicated to providing an elite music education experience to aspiring musicians in a professional setting. Each festival begins with the Showcase Concert featuring auditioned high school scholarship recipients. Over the next three days these students are joined by all the festival student participants as well as Southwestern University students for other performance opportunities, culminating with the A Night at the Meyerson performance.

The Southwestern Music Festival is also a fundraiser, granting music scholarships and opportunities to talented students. Tickets are available at music.swau.edu.
