A music recital usually means a formal setting for classical music perhaps sung in a different language. An upcoming Sterling College music recital will be more like a musical revue which will include music theatre songs, with staging, a sense of character and even a little tap dance.  Rachel Thomson, Hutchinson, will be presenting her Senior Music Theatre Recital on Thursday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in Culbertson Auditorium on the College campus. 

Ben Ray ’82, current Board of Trustees member and Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Derby, Kan., will be the speaker for the 2024 Sterling College Commencement ceremony.  The ceremony will honor the Class of 2024 and will take place on Saturday, May 11, at 9:45 a.m. in the Gleason Physical Education Center on the Sterling College campus.

March is Women’s History Month and Sterling College Concert Choir will be celebrating with their concert “Music, She Wrote” which is slated for this Sunday, March 24, at 7 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church in Sterling. Besides Concert Choir, the program will feature select ensemble Highland Singers as well as SC Lasses (women’s choir) and SC Lads (men’s choir). 

“You are never going to do anything interesting if you're always trying to make sense.” That quote sounds like a mantra, life’s philosophy, or admonition – maybe all in one. It is also the title of the latest art exhibit at the Sterling College Art Gallery. An exhibit of Polaroid photographs by artist Caitlyn Frazer of Hays will be on display now through April 19.
