ALS Program (Page 1) - American Liszt Society

Dear colleagues,
Speaking on behalf of the faculty, staff and students in the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, it is
such a pleasure to welcome you all to our campus once again for the American Liszt Society’s Annual Spring
Festival. Remaining connected with professional organizations and societies is an important priority for our
College, as we believe strongly that doing so contributes significantly to the artistic education of our students and
to the ongoing professional development of our faculty. Having you with us this week enriches our entire campus,
as well as the Lincoln community, in a special way.
Since your last visit in 2005, our College has continued to expand and deepen its programs in the arts through
the addition of a new Master of Arts degree in Art History, as well as through program concentrations in Chamber
Music, Jazz, Music Composition, Directing for Stage and Screen, and an exciting interdisciplinary initiative in
Digital Arts. In each of these areas, we have worked hard to ensure that opportunities for our students to interact
in meaningful ways with a wide variety of visiting artists, scholars, and industry professionals are woven into the
fabric of the curricular offerings and activities that take place on campus. To be sure, the musical performances,
presentations and lectures that you will be offering during your stay on campus will make a rich and rewarding
contribution to this effort.
Thank you so very much for inviting us to be your hosts!
With warm regards,
Giacomo M. Oliva
Hixson-Lied Endowed Dean
