NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Faculty members of the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music will be the featured performers during the annual Pi Kappa Lambda Recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
"This concert showcases our diverse faculty and their talent," said Deborah Dalton, SFA associate professor of voice and president of the local chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, the national music honor society.

The musicians have selected a wide range of musical styles and will perform in a variety of solo and ensemble settings.
Faculty vocalists to perform include sopranos Debbie Berry and Charlotte Davis; mezzo-sopranos Nita Hudson and Deborah Dalton; and baritones David Howard and Scott LaGraff.
Also performing will be pianists Mario Ajero, Mary Cooper, Andrew Parr, Geneva Fung, Gene H. Moon and Ron Petti; clarinetists Christopher Ayer and Fred J. Allen; and cellist Evgeni Raychev. Guest violinist Megan Petti and guest pianist Davey Thomas also will perform.
