Pianist Christy D’Ambrosio received her master’s degree in piano from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where she was a student of Mr. Frank Weinstock. She has performed extensively in both solo and chamber capacities in Ohio, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia, and Alabama and currently serves as accompanist for Jacksonville State University choirs. Credentialed in the Suzuki method, Christy maintains a private studio in her home in Jacksonville, Alabama.

The artists will perform together as well as presenting solo pieces individually. The varied program will include works by Johannes Brahms, William Grant Still, Nikola Resanovik, Victor Morosco, and a world premiere by JSU composition professor Mike D’Ambrosio. His Fantasy in Six Continuous Movements was co-commissioned by Lemuel Bardeguez and the Delta Tau Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at Oklahoma State University.
