The Electronic Music Concert begins at 7:30pm in Elbin Auditorium on the West Liberty University campus. All Division of Music concerts are free and open to the public.

The concert features the World Premiere of a new work by Dr. Matthew Harder called Power for gyil and electronic sound. Dr. Michael Vercelli, from West Virginia University, will be performing on the gyil, a West African xylophone. Dr. Vercelli is widely known as a master performer and scholar of the gyil.

The concert also features solo performances by students from the Live Electronic Music class, as well as student “tape” pieces.

Below is a 30-second promotional video featuring an excerpt from Power.

The three new members are all Music Majors: (from left) Michael Matthias Dotson, Michael Anderson and Alan Cline.
Senior Michael Anderson is from Mount Pleasant, Ohio, Graduating Senior Michael Matthias Dotson is from Middlebourne, W.Va., and Junior Alan Cline is from Wellsburg, W.Va.. The three were inducted into the men’s honorary society at a festive dinner celebration.
Dotson will receive his Bachelor of Arts in Music degree in Voice Performance on May 11 during WLU’s Commencement Ceremony. His post-commencement plans include attending graduate school at Westminster Choir College, Princeton, N.J. where he plans to earn a Master’s in Voice Performance. Dotson received a $10,000 scholarship.
Anderson, who is a music education major will graduate in December, and Cline, a music performance major, will graduate in May 2014.
Members of the society include leading members of the faculty and WLU’s highest achieving students. Both faculty and students are chosen based upon a demonstration of excellence and leadership in three areas: classroom academics, campus activities and community service.
The honorary society has a rich tradition and dates to 1932, when West Liberty was a State Teachers’ College and President J.S. Bonar organized the Torch Society to serve as the ranking men’s honorary. The organization consisted of both faculty members and the most distinguished male students in terms of scholarship, service and sportsmanship.
The Torch was reinvigorated through the efforts of current President Robin C. Capehart and is now known as the Order of the Torch. It continues to serve as the ranking men’s honorary at West Liberty University today.
By retaining the symbol of the torch, it maintains tradition and links to the rich history of WLU, West Virginia’s oldest institution of higher education established in 1837.
