Ocie's Graduate Conducting Recital

This was a night of choral anthems. Tonight is a night of choral anthems and songs that are dear to my heart. I have performed most of these pieces before, but not as a conductor. Each piece holds a very special place in my heart. It brings me joy to conduct each piece and dedicate them to the conductors that introduced me to them. This recital is presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Music Conducting degree at Messiah University.
