This concert will include a work for organ and chorus by Greensboro composer Jack Jarret.  This work was commissioned by Music for a Great Space to commemorate the Bicentennial of Greensboro, NC (1808-2008).
 
JANETTE FISHELL, a recitalist and teacher of international standing, has performed in many of the world’s greatest concert venues.  She has been a featured recitalist and lecturer at national and regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists.  The author of many articles and a book on service playing, she is a leading authority on the organ music of Czech composer Petr Eben.  Featured in live radio broadcasts worldwide, she has made numerous recordings including performances of the music of Dupré, Eben, and J. S. Bach as well as duet literature performed with her husband, British organist Colin Andrews.  Dr. Fishell is Distinguished Professor of Music at East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, where she heads the Organ Performance and Sacred Music degree programs and is Chair of Keyboard Studies.  She is also Director of Music/Principal Organist at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Greenville.  She holds degrees in organ performance from Indiana University and Northwestern University; her teachers include Wilma Jensen, Wolfgang Rübsam, Richard Enright, Anita Werling, Robert Byrd, and Clyde Holloway. 
 
JACK M. JARRETT is a composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher.  His compositions have been performed by more than fifty major orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops.  For over forty years he has taught in American universities, most recently at Berklee College of Music where he chaired the largest composition department in the world.  There he trained young composers, including film composers, and oversaw Berklee’s unique technology-based training program in conducting, which incorporated his own software.  His main focus currently is the design and development of NOTION music notation and performance software at VirtuosoWorks, of which he is Vice President of Research and Development.  Dr. Jarrett holds Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in Composition from Indiana University, Eastman School of Music, and the University of Florida, as well as a Diploma in Conducting from the Berlin Hochschüle für Musik.  We are pleased Dr. Jarrett, a native of Asheville who is now a resident of Greensboro, accepted the commission to compose an anthem for the celebration of the Bicentennial of the City of Greensboro.
