Magale Recital Hall
Natchitoches, Louisiana
Each year the recital participants are chosen by the applied faculty
in their
respective areas as the most outstanding based on their fall
juries. The School of Creative and Performing Arts
presented the
first
“Honors Recital” in 1998.
In 2002,
The recital was re-named in honor of Jim McCutcheon,
a
retired band teacher, who was active in
instrument repair at NSU.
Because Mr.
McCutcheon wanted to do something to recognize
outstanding
student performance here at NSU, he began offering
a
financial prize to those students selected to perform on the recital.
After
his death, his wife, Mrs. Jo Lapeyrouse, chose to continue this
tradition and has funded a
scholarship in his name.
Program includes:
Concerto No, 1 in F# minor . . . . Giovanni Bottesini
I. Allegro Moderato (1821-1889)
Carlos Gomez Garcia, double bass
Elena Bogaczova, piano
