Concerto Competition Winners |
|
A wealth of solo musical talent participated in the annual Reinhardt University Instrumental Concerto Competition this week. Since 2009, the competition showcases the amazing students within the ranks of the instrumental department of the Reinhardt University School of Performing Arts.
A panel of distinguished judges chose trumpeter Elizabeth Chesser and trombonist Tristin Baumann as the top two performers. Chesser will be featured in the 2023 fall semester as a soloist with the university's Wind Ensemble, with Baumann as alternate soloist. Both are Music Education majors.
After applying, all contestants are coached by their Reinhardt Artist Affiliates to prepare for the competition.
Congratulations, Elizabeth and Tristin!

The oldest student athlete in the 140-year history of Reinhardt University, and possibly nationwide, is getting ready to graduate with high honors. Debbie Blount will turn 65 years old two days before her May graduation. She laughs about getting a Medicare card, but has taken her studies seriously. She’s on the Dean’s list with a 4.0 G.P.A. in all her classes at Reinhardt, while competing with the golf team.
Blount is even nominated for nontraditional Student of the Year. Her bachelor’s degree is in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in History, English, and Sports Studies.
Winning a college trophy for placing 6th at a golf tournament at the Links at Kahite in Tennessee is one of her greatest accomplishments. Another is contributing to the team, which she has done in almost every event.

A research project at Reinhardt University is getting a wider audience. Findings within the Cherokee Voice Project were presented at the Georgia Associate of Historians (GAH) annual conference, held last month at Valdosta State University.
The goal of the project is to transcribe thousands of claim documents filed by citizens of the Cherokee Nation, prior to the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. The findings include insight into the agricultural production by Native Americans, and what they owned and wanted reimbursement for, such as land, livestock and tools. Stories of how the Cherokee Indians arrived in Georgia, and their forced relocation are also being discovered.
Andrew Jones, a Post-Doctoral Teaching Historian at Reinhardt, has been leading the Cherokee Voice Project since last August. Seniors Christopher Walker, Kamille McKinney, and Sydney Murray, along with Jones, shared their research at the conference.
