Methodist University’s music scene is nothing short of lively with a variety of events open to the public and the MU community over the next week.
Methodist University’s music scene is nothing short of lively with a variety of events open to the public and the MU community over the next week.
Throughout the year, MU’s Division of Fine & Performing Arts hosts musical events on campus – like the Friends of Music series and the annual Yuletide Feaste – featuring the many talents of current students and the greater Fayetteville community.
Starting Tuesday, the University will host three music-centered events in a one-week span, all free of charge.
“Music is one of the threads that adds to the fabric of campus life at Methodist University,” said Dr. Susan Durham-Lozaw, head of the Division of Fine & Performing Arts. “For students, it’s important to remember one of the best parts about college is the access to experiences like this. For faculty, attending music events is much like attending athletic events – it’s a great way to support the students we serve.”
