The McCutcheon Honors Recital 

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 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.
