Young musicians honored with composition awards AUGUSTA Two young musicians, including a student and recent alum of the Department of Music at Georgia Regents University, were honored in recent composition contests. William Dukes, a senior music major at GRU, was a winner in the Georgia Music Educators Association Composition Contest in November. His piece, “Saxophone Quartet in F minor,” will be performed at the Georgia Music Educators Association Conference in Savannah in January. Dukes, a Warner Robins native, studies composition with Dr. Martin David Jones, Music Director of the GRU Orchestra, and Professor of Piano, Conducting, Composition, and Theory in the Department of Music. Matthew Reed, a fall 2012 graduate from Martinez was the Georgia winner of the Music Teachers National Association’s Young Artist Composition Competition in October. His piece, “The Eagle Forgotten,” was composed as an undergraduate at GRU and was first performed on campus as part of the university’s “Life of the Mind” series. His composition advances to an MTNA Southern states regional competition in January. “These are the two highest composition prizes for college composers in the state of Georgia,” Jones said.
Author Sara Elliott Sommerville to read from her mystery novel AUGUSTA Author Sara Elliott Sommerville will be reading selections from my debut novel, “Death at the Old Mill Pond” at the Maxwell Branch Library, at 6:00pm on Thursday, December 5th. “Death at the Old Mill Pond” is the first in the author’s Zanna Armstrong Mystery Series. It is a southern story set in rural South Carolina during the Civil Rights era. The novel is a work of fiction, but very loosely based on an incident from my childhood. The setting is similar to my family home. Zanna Armstrong and her brother Beau have known the miller and his family all of their lives. They cannot believe they’d murder Fats Wiggins, no matter the provocation. The two teenagers set out to help the sheriff solve the murder, but soon their own lives are at risk. The library is located at: 1927 Lumpkin Road, Augusta, Georgia.
