Maryville College seniors Brianna Marcopulos ’24 and Elaina Wilson ’24 will present a recital at 6 p.m. Friday, April 12. 

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts on the MC campus. The program will include the following selections: “Journey to the Past” by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, as well as selections by Wolfgang Mozart, Adam Guettel, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Franz Schubert, Ralph Vaughn-Williams and more.

The recital will also include the following two alumni guest performers: Michaela Clemens ’20 and Andrew Brittain ’22. Chase Hatmaker ’14 and Kate Wogoman will serve as the collaborative pianists.

“The themes in ‘Journey to the Past’ from ‘Anastasia’ — such as hardships, growth and love — reflect the musical and emotional journey of our college years,” Marcopulos and Wilson said in a joint artist statement. “We were each other’s first friends in the (Music) department and have been a part of one another’s stories through pandemics and fun times alike!” 

Marcopulos, a Music major from Knoxville, Tennessee, is a 2020 graduate of Oak Ridge High School. Wilson, a Music Education with Licensure major from Maryville, Tennessee, is a 2020 graduate of Heritage High School.
