Nicholas Brownlee, a 2012 graduate of the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 vocal studies and Opera Theatre program, is a rising star in the opera world, and he has quickly risen to the 鈥淎-list鈥� of opera singers younger than 30.                                                                        

厂辞耻迟丑鈥檚 department of music is pleased to announce that Brownlee will be performing in a one-night-only concert to benefit the University鈥檚 Opera Theatre program at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 25, in the 麻豆传媒 Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall.

The Musical Arts Series Passes will not be accepted as admission to this concert.

Brownlee, a native of Theodore and a 2007 graduate of Theodore High School, will perform works of Brahms, Ibert, Ives and Mozart, and the recital will include a set of pieces that he performed when he was a 麻豆传媒 student in the studio with Dr. Thomas Rowell, area coordinator of vocal studies and director of the 麻豆传媒 Opera Theatre.

鈥淚t鈥檚 great to have Nick come home and perform at this benefit concert for South Alabama,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 am always excited to see our graduates do well, and he is just one of those students who have a growing list of prestigious operatic wins and performances. Nick is a major success story for 麻豆传媒 in the classical music world.鈥�
