Dr. Suzanne Hatcher, assistant professor of choral and vocal music at William Jewell College, will present a free recital at 7:30 p.m. February 3 in John Gano Memorial Chapel on the campus in Liberty, Mo. The public is invited to attend; reservations or tickets are not required.
Dr. Hatcher, a soprano, will be accompanied by Dr. Calvin Permenter, professor of music, on piano. The program will consist of selections by Hugo Wolf, Gustav Mahler, Antonin Dvorak and Richard Strauss.
Dr. Hatcher is a proponent of “new music” with countless premieres to her credit, while also achieving critical acclaim for her Baroque and verismo singing. During her young career, she has been praised for her portrayals of many heroines, most recently Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare), Rusalka, Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Santuzza (Cavalleria Rusticana), and Leonora (La Forza del Destino and Il Trovatore), as well as her oratorio performances of the music of Handel, Bach, Schubert and David Conte. Dr. Hatcher is frequently sought after for performances of 20th- and 21st-century music, as well as for her knowledge of vocal pedagogy and repertoire. She holds a master of music degree in voice from the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University and the doctorate of musical arts degree in conducting with a pedagogy emphasis from the University of Miami.
Founded in Liberty, Mo., in 1849, William Jewell College has earned a solid reputation among the Midwest’s most consistently honored and academically challenging private colleges. With its rigorous academic culture and focus on student achievement, the college offers students an outstanding education grounded in the liberal arts with a unique focus on cultivating leadership, intellectual and spiritual growth.
