49th Annual President’s Concert Recap

March 2, 2023
UA president, Dr. Robbins with conductors and soloists of the 49th annual President’s Concert, Dr. Lori Wiest, Director of Fred Fox School of Music, and Andrew Schulz, Vice President for the Arts and Dean of the CFA.

The 49th Annual President’s Concert occurred on February 5th in Crowder Hall at the Fred Fox School of Music. This concert featured students who won the highly competitive University of Arizona Concerto Competition alongside the Arizona Symphony Orchestra in performance for the University’s president, Dr. Robert C. Robbins. Winners from the concerto competition are chosen from each of the performance areas in the music school – voice, strings, wind, keyboard and percussion. They demonstrate the very best of the talent and training that the Fred Fox School of Music has to offer. 

Featured soloists of the 49th annual President’s Concert. From Left to Right: Wenxin Guan, Emmy Tisdel, Martina Portychova, and Gloria Ines Orozco Dorado

This year’s winners were pianist Wenxin Guan, who performed Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, followed by mezzo-soprano Martina Portychova who sang “Nobles Seigneurs, salut!” from Les Huguenots by Giacomo Meyerbeer. Gloria Ines Orozco Dorado performed Black Dog Concerto by Scott McAllister on the clarinet; and lastly, violinist Emmy Tisdel played movement one, Allegro moderato, of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35. The student performances were conducted by graduate students Fátima Corona del Toro and Yudai Ueda. The concert began with Melody by Myroslav Skoryk and ended with Polovtsian Dances from the opera Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin both conducted by the Director of Orchestral Activities, Dr. Thomas Cockrell.

Presser Scholar Olivia Bustos was in attendance and met with President Robbins at the Concert.
Distinguished graduate student Caroline Alyward also attended the concert and was recognized for her achievements by President Robbins.

Let's show some love to what matters! Thanks to the Music Fund for Excellence, a group of talented Fred Fox School of Music students were able to attend the 2023 American Choral Directors Association Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. This incredible opportunity has helped pave the way for our future choral directors and educators to grow and excel. We couldn't be prouder of their achievements!

Support your passion. Support future Wildcat generations. Any amount makes a difference, and it all adds up to a better Arizona.
