Bachelor of Arts (BA), Music
“Studying music performance at the Horton School of Music and Performing Arts was a life-altering experience that has prepared me well for musical success and has shaped me as a follower of Christ. While at Charleston Southern, I had the opportunity to perform frequently as a soloist, tour Europe with the Wind Ensemble, play at Carnegie Hall, and even conduct and participate in ensembles. My time at CSU left a lasting impact on me, from the musical excellence, challenging academics, and most importantly, the profound love of Christ shown in the classroom and field of music.”
