During his recital, Hufstedler will perform “Per la gloria d’adorarvi” from Griselda by Giovanni Bononcini; “An Chloe” by W.A.

Hufstedler will also perform two of his original compositions: “Amber,” for which he wrote the lyrics and music, and “my skin whispers,” with lyrics by Emma K. Smith and music by Hufstedler.
Smith is a junior theatre arts and Christian studies double major from North Little Rock, Ark.
“When I perform such a diverse set of songs, I realize the many hearts and minds that have touched the music I sing today,” Hufstedler said. “As a composer, I am honored to continue that tradition.”
Hufstedler will be joined during the recital by Susan Monroe, collaborative pianist.
