Eleventh Annual William Wolfe Award Recital - School of Music

nWilliam Wolfe Guitar AwardMore and more, during recent years,public and private studio recitals byguitar students at The University ofArizona have deeply impressed andmoved me. They have won my highand continual admiration for theirshared enthusiasm, perseverance,and devotion in study of thiswonderfully fine, fascinatinginstrument on which they so heartilyand intently focus their talent andenergy, the classical guitar.nEleventh AnnualWilliam Wolfe Award RecitalIn Memory of William Wolfe1927-2007Featuring four outstanding UA guitar students:Misael Barraza DíazSteven Jay LermanMitch TurbensonRiley WakefieldClearly the learning and evergreater mastery of it, under ProfessorTom Patterson’s exemplary teaching, stimulates and nurtures theirinnate intelligence. Beyond that, they give ample evidence of havingdeveloped a powerful, refined articulateness of expression throughmusical dedication and wholehearted performance.Enjoying results of funds at the UA Foundation, I’ve beenimmeasurably thrilled to see students of guitar become encouragedby scholarships to move always forward in their laudableaspirations and endeavors. Based on a pass-through scholarshipendowment, each of these yearly recitals draws attention, byaudition with graduate student judges, to four outstanding studentguitarists who delight in sharing their joy of musical inspirationwith recital audiences and among their performing fellow scholarsas well.The equal awards they receive in monetary form are intendedprimarily as tokens of the honor they have earned together bytheir very evident and exceptional diligence.William J.
