Whitey Herzog to be Special Guest at Kohlenberg Lyceum Performance
When two of Truman’s premier musical groups perform at the Feb.
20 Kohlenberg Lyceum program, there will be a very special guest in the
audience, Whitey Herzog, Truman grandfather and former manager of the St.
Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals.
Herzog’s granddaughter is of one of the members of Cantoria, Truman’s select 60-member ensemble which emphasizes a cappella works, one of the groups performing in the Truman Showcase at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 20, in Baldwin Auditorium. The second group performing will be the 80-member University Symphony Orchestra.
Herzog’s appearance at the Truman Showcase will serve two purposes. The first one will fulfill his desire to attend one of his granddaughter’s concerts at Truman State University. The second purpose is to help Cantoria raise money to cover expenses as they travel to Houston in March. Cantoria was one of only two universities selected to perform at the prestigious regional convention of the American Choral Directors Association in Houston. Cantoria is directed by Paul Crabb, professor of music.
Herzog will sign autographs for a $5 donation to Cantoria or for $10 he will sign an 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch full color Royals Hall of Fame poster. He will sign autographs from 6:15-7:15 p.m. and for 30 minutes after the concert in Baldwin Hall 100. No cameras will be allowed.
The University Symphony Orchestra, will also perform under the direction of Sam J. McClure, assistant professor of music. The Orchestra is an ensemble of instrumentalists selected from the general student body. They regularly accompany student soloists and choral ensembles and annually tours the region each fall semester.
The orchestra was recently selected as the featured university orchestra at the 2000 MMEA Convention at Tan-Tar-A.
Free tickets to the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series Truman Showcase are available to all students, faculty and staff at the Student Activities Board Office and the Center for Student Involvement.

World class jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon will perform with the
Truman State Jazz Ensemble during Phi Mu Alpha’s 34th Annual Jazz Festival

Gordon has an extensive performance history including shows with Dizzy Gillespie, Branford Marsalis and Lionel Hampton.
“Wycliffe Jordan is probably the highest caliber musician we have ever had perform at the festival,” festival coordinator Andy Coon said.
In addition to his performance expertise, Gordon is also one of America’s most compelling and committed music educators. He currently serves on the faculty of the Jazz Studies Program of the School of Music at Michigan State University and he was appointed to the newly established Jazz Studies Program at the Julliard School.
