She also co-directs the Writing for Performance Program, which helps students adapt different kinds of writing for the stage or screen, including poetry, short stories, autobiography, or ethnography. And Carver serves as creator and artistic director of the Life and Literature Performance series to showcase original and adapted work by MU students for the stage. 3 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:56:49 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/szekely/ipod/szekely01.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/szekely/ipod/szekely01.m4v Szekely explains that classical music is not as popular in the twenty-first century as in previous times because it is erroneously perceived to be elitist. Classical music since the mid-1800s was intended for and much appreciated by the masses, when musicians had rock star status. It is Szekely’s mission to keep the classical genres developing by enhancing the repertoire and exposing new generations of music lovers to its unique magic. 3 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:44:40 GMT
