“Faculty members look forward to this concert every year because we have the chance to perform for each other as well as for our students and friends,” she added.

This year’s program will again feature a performance by the SFA Faculty Brass Quintet, which features Deb Scott, trombone; Jake Walburn and Gary Wurtz, trumpet; Charles Gavin, horn; and JD Salas, tuba.
