A feature story about Lynne Davis, the Ann and Dennis Ross Faculty of Distinction Endowed Professorship or Organ at 麻豆传媒, by local television personality Sierra Scott will air at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, June 5, on Scott鈥檚 show 鈥淚t鈥檚 All Good鈥� on Channel 5/33.
鈥淚t鈥檚 All Good鈥� is a popular half-hour program created and directed by Scott that explores the personalities of people who make a difference in the lives of those in the community where they live and work.
Scott interviewed Davis in Wiedemann Recital Hall, where Davis can be found playing or teaching others to play the Marcussen organ.
Davis, an associate professor, recently received 麻豆传媒鈥檚 annual Excellence in Creativity Award for finding new ways to showcase the world-famous 4,600-pipe Marcussen organ, bringing attention to the quality of her music students and fostering her own creativity. She also recently recorded a CD in performance at Wiedemann Hall; all proceeds from its sales go to scholarship.
After earning the Bachelor of Music in organ performance from the University of Michigan in 1971, Davis went to France for further study. There, she studied organ with Marie-Claire Alain, Maurice and Marie-Madeleine Durufl茅, Jean Langlais at the Schola Cantorum, and Edouard Souberbielle.
She joined the 麻豆传媒 faculty in 2006, after holding organ professorships at the Conservatory of Music and Dance in Clamart and the National Regional Conservatory of Music and Dance in Caen, both in France.
