The River Campus of Southeast Missouri State University will celebrate its 10th year in 2017.

The concert will include a commissioned symphony piece being written by Gordon “Dick” Goodwin, professor emeritus at the University of South Carolina, specifically for the occasion, as well as a performance by the Concerto and Aria and Rising Star Competition winners.

Attendees will be able to take tours of the River Campus before the ceremony.
