from the MMTA President
Welcome to our 2006 Conference in Liberty on the picturesque campus of William Jewell College! Many thanks to local chair, Calvin Permenter, piano professor, Mary Davis, MMTA past president, and local assistant, and Ian Coleman, Chairman of the Music Department.
David Bennett, MMTA President-elect, has arranged a novel and diverse group of presenters we hope will stimulate and inspire. We have not just one main Conference Artist but several varied concerts, plus a William Jewell faculty showcase on Friday evening. Please plan to hear the Commissioned Composer, Hu Xia-ou, who will present his work Friday at 12:30 p.m.
Thank you for attending. I hope you will consider giving as well as receiving. We recognize and appreciate what you may give of your individual musical experience and wisdom.
Please note we will have a DIFFERENT nominee for Auditions Co-Chair (for Judges), because Meredith Taylor needs to resign that post after our conference. She will not be continuing as she planned. She is fine, just overly busy with other commitments.
Cameron Dibble
MMTA President
