SUU MUSIC STUDENTS APPEAR ON GRAMMY AWARD-NOMINATED RECORDING
When this year’s Grammy Award nominations were recently announced, two of SUU’s talented vocal students had reason to be excited – they performed on a nominated recording. Taliah Lee Johnson and Geneil Perkins received word that their work on the recording Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem was nominated for Best Choral Performance in the Classical Music division.
Last summer, Perkins and Johnson were awarded scholarships for their work as part of the first-annual Professional Choral Institute at the University of South Florida. The two weeks spent with other college singers from across the country and finished with a professional recording of the Brahms’ Requiem with Seraphic Fire an internationally acclaimed choir based out of Miami, Florida. The recording was a huge success on the iTunes classical charts when it was released last August. Then came word of the Grammy Award nomination. Congratulations to Geneil and Taliah!
