Senior bachelor of fine arts piano major Teryl Austin Rice was awarded the Dean’s Award (College of Arts and Humanities) in the 2022 IUP Scholar’s Forum.
Teryl’s presentation, “Making Sense of Ned Rorem’s First Piano Sonata,” was in the form of a lecture-recital, where he analyzed the structure and thematic material in the first movement. Henry Wong Doe was Teryl’s faculty advisor for the project. Teryl performed the complete sonata at his senior recital in March (pictured).
