Dr. Wheeler works with Justin Parks

University of Northern Colorado

The University of Northern Colorado student chapter of the AVS was excited to have Dr. Lawrence Wheeler of the University of Houston present an out standing recital and an inspiring master class in early March. The recital on the evening of March 3 featured works by Bach, Bridge, and Hawkins, along with several caprices from Dr. Wheeler’s own Nine Caprices for Solo Viola, op. 1. He was assisted in the performance by professors Juliet White-Smith on viola and Caleb Harris on piano. In the master class on the morning of March 4, Tim Brock, Juckrit Charoensook, and Justin Parks played works by Bach, Stamitz, and Walton. The UNC chapter had a wonderful time and would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Wheeler for his visit.
