Over 60 years of musical experience will be featured Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at a duo-piano recital in Academic Auditorium.
Betty Sue Palsgrove, professor emerita, and John Shelton, professor of music at Southeast Missouri State University, will present the recital. It will feature a varied program of literature by J.S. Bach, Mozart, St.-Saens, Arensky, and Debussy.
This is the third concert the two have presented together.
Palsgrove taught 30 years at Southeast before retiring, and has performed extensively as a recitalist and an accompanist. She is a graduate of Southeast and has a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana. She did doctoral work at Memphis State.
Shelton has his undergraduate degree from Murray State University, a master's from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, and a doctorate from George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tenn.
He was music director at Centenary United Methodist Church for 25 years and is presently serving as interim director at First Christian Church.
