Lee University’s School of Music will present Associate Professor of Voice James Frost, tenor, and Mary Beth Wickes, piano, in a faculty recital on Thursday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Squires Recital Hall on Lee’s Campus.  This event was originally scheduled for Jan. 15, but rescheduled due to inclement weather.

Frost and Wickes will perform the song cycles “An die ferne Geliebte” by Ludwig van Beethoven and “Winter Words” by Benjamin Britten. 

Frost joined the School of Music in 2007, where he teaches applied voice and directs Lee’s Opera Theatre program. Prior to his arrival at Lee, Frost lived in Germany for 20 years, where he gained professional experience at various opera houses such as Stadttheater Hildesheim in Germany, Tiroler Landestheater in Austria, as well as regional theaters in the United States.  

Wickes serves as an accompanist for vocalists and instrumentalists at Lee. Alongside her work with the students, as well as collaborating with Lee faculty, Wickes serves as the organist for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. 

The recital is free, non-ticketed, and open to the public. Squires Recital Hall is located in the Humanities Building on Paul Conn Parkway.
