UM Students Use Musical Talent In Piano Ensemble

The University of Mobile Piano Ensemble has started another year of outstanding musicianship. The ensemble consists of faculty and students on acoustic pianos performing sacred and secular material in classic and traditional music settings.

The group gives two annual on-campus concerts featuring multiple pianos on stage and two people playing on each piano for many songs.

This year’s faculty performers are Barbara Laurendine, the group’s director; Becky Fox, head of the Piano Department; Duane Plash, Carol Evers, Rosalyn Soo Mauldin and Joyce Sylvester.

Students in the ensemble this year are Phil Mathis, Matt Scott, Deborah Harden, Rachel Williamson, Carrie Morris, Nancy Kelley, Amanda Davis, Annalisa Cloud, Wendi Trippi, Andrew Desko, Hannah Shetler, Amanda Graham, Emily Ellington, Jason O’Neal and Jaye Herrod.
