Special thanks to the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center staff and volunteers, Steve Carignan, executive

director, and all of our guests this evening.

Special thanks to all donors who contributed after our publishing date and to everyone in attendance at this

evening’s concert.

As always, the end of the concert does not mean the end of the

evening, but the beginning of our post-concert festivities! Enjoy

the champagne and hors d’oeuvres (with ginger ale for the lighter

palette) as you mingle with friends, students and faculty artists!

McElroy Lobby:

Bob Dunn, guitar, will keep the McElroy Lobby lively with stellar

arrangements in a variety of styles to enjoy at the reception.

Davis Hall:

UNI student jazz combo Night Mayor will present a collection of

standards and new jazz repertoire in a nightclub-feel setting.
