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.
