“As a former Grizz myself, I can’t wait to see Missoula again,” Lane told ISU’s Department of Marketing and Communications. “We love having our friends and colleagues from Montana here to sing with us.”
Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer who lived during the early 1800s. His works include several symphonies and operas, as well as a large amount of chamber music and solo piano compositions.
The staff involved in the recital are excited to perform some of his works.
“It is such a privilege to share some of the most intimate and expressive masterpieces…between colleagues and enthusiastic listeners,” Bond told ISU’s Department of Marketing and Communications.
