Fall Conference and Student Auditions

November 10 – 12, 2011
Mississippi College - Clinton, Mississippi

From Dr. Loraine Sims - "I am thrilled to announce that the 2011 Conference features soprano Jane Redding as our Guest Recitalist. Some of you may remember Ms. Redding because she was a two-time past Governor’s Award winner in the Southern Region. Since leaving our region, she has been cultivating a successful national singing career. You may enjoy reading about her and hearing some audio files on her website. Ms. Redding will also present a Master Class on Friday. Stay tuned for the request to submit your students for consideration to be on that class. Ms. Redding will be joined by pianist, Michael Borowitz who played so beautifully for Donnie Ray Albert two years ago.
