Maryville College senior Dana Patterson ’26 will present a vocal recital at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts. The recital is free and open to the public.

Highlights from the program include works by Handel, Scarlatti, Fauré, Debussy, Vaughan Williams and Bolcom. The recital will also include guest performers Jenny Ribble ’27, Ella Morse ’27 and Jackie Manning ’26. Chase Hatmaker ’14 will serve as the collaborative pianist.

“I have selected these pieces because, as a whole, they represent my musical journey, memories shared, and stories that can only be told through song,” Patterson said of the works on her senior recital program.

Patterson will graduate with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education in Spring 2026. A graduate of William Blount High School, she came to MC from Greenback, Tennessee.

Located in Maryville, Tennessee, between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the city of Knoxville, Maryville College offers nearly 1,200  students from around the world both the beauty of a rural setting and the advantages of an urban center, as well as more than 60 majors, seven pre-professional programs and career preparation from their first day on campus to their last. Today, our 10,000 alumni are living life strong of mind and brave of heart and are prepared, in the words of our Presbyterian founder, to “do good on the largest possible scale.”
