Piano Professor Emeritus Robert Jordan

Returns to Perform on his 70th Birthday

Friends of Professor Emeritus Robert Jordan and the School of Music will be privileged to hear the pianist in concert on Sept. 11 in the Juliet J. Rosch Recital Hall. The concert will be in celebration of Professor Jordan's 70th birthday.

Mr. Jordan was among the faculty from 1980 to 2004 and touched the lives of thousands of students. As a teacher and pianist, he has always been committed to the art of music-making and the development of young talent.

In appreciation of Professor Jordan's talent and influence, piano alumni, former colleagues and friends have responded to a challenge to raise funds in his name to establish an endowment for piano scholarships and student enrichment. The fund will be used to grow and develop the School of Music's piano program, promote student diversity and international initiatives, and generate discretionary resources that can bring special events to campus which will enhance learning.

If you would like to be part of this cause, contributions can be made to the Fredonia College Foundation or at www.fredonia.edu/giveonline under School of Music, "Robert Jordan Piano Scholarship". To learn more, contact Betty Gossett, Associate Vice President for Development, at (716) 673-3321 or gossett@fredonia.edu.
