Missy Belton attended Biola as an oboe performance major for only
a short time, yet she had a deep impact on the Conservatory community
before her tragic death in an auto accident in April, 1999. Since
that time, her parents, Dr. Steve and Wanda Belton have continued
to honor Missy’s memory through donations to the Conservatory
and by providing tuition assistance to music students.
Last spring,
the Beltons donated Missy’s Lorée English Horn to
the Conservatory, and in turn the Conservatory’s English
Horn was given to senior oboe major, Anna Epp (‘05). The
result was an upgrade in the quality of the Conservatory English
Horn and a much needed English Horn for Anna as she prepared for
graduate school auditions. The presentation of the English Horn
to the Conservatory was made at the annual Major Works concert
in May. Dr. Belton began the program by sharing a few words in
memory of Missy and then presented her English Horn to Symphony
Orchestra conductor, Marlin Owen. The presentation was followed
by the Prelude to Act III of Tristan und Isolde, featuring
Anna Epp on English Horn. To learn more about Missy, go to www.dearmissy.org. |
