SHERMAN, TEXAS-Soprano soloist Jessica Carlson of Corpus Christi, Texas, will perform her Austin College Senior Recital on Sunday, February 10, at 4 p.m. in Wynne Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.
The daughter of Jeffrey and Jacqueline Carlson, Jessica is completing a major in music and a minor in psychology at Austin College. She plans to pursue elementary music education through graduate study in the Austin Teacher Program.
In her recital, Jessica will perform three Italian pieces from the Baroque era, a German song cycle by Robert Schumann, and three 20th century English pieces by Benjamin Britten. Schumann wrote the German song cycle as a wedding gift to his wife, Clara, and each song represents an important stage in a woman's life, from daydreaming of love, to courting, then dating, engagement, marriage, pregnancy, childrearing, and finally, the death of her husband.
Jessica has been singing in school and community choirs since elementary school. A member of Austin College's A Cappella Choir, she also serves as assistant director for that group, and is a member of the College's Consort, a 12-voice auditioned jazz ensemble.
Jessica said she has greatly enjoyed participating in the music program at Austin College, finding for herself a family among fellow students and faculty.
Austin College is a leading national independent liberal arts college located north of Dallas in Sherman, Texas.
