Stetson University’s School of Music will present soprano Kristen Pavlic, pictured right, and mezzo-soprano Erin Coatney, below left, in recital at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 26. The performance will take place in Lee Chapel inside Elizabeth Hall, 421 North Woodland Blvd., DeLand. The free recital is open to the public and is being performed in partial fulfillment of a Bachelor of Music in Performance.

Pavlic and Coatney, both scholarship students of Craig Maddox, D.M., associate professor of voice in Stetson University’s School of Music, will present a program centered upon a life cycle. The recital will begin with works sung from the perspective of the eyes of children and will follow through to the emotions felt towards the end of life. Featured will be works by Bernstein, Poulenc, Brahms, Rossini, Verdi, Britten, Debussy and Copland, among others.

Pavlic and Coatney will collaborate with pianists Tammy Miller and Brent Pafford, as well as with Stetson music majors Rebeca Baquerizo (violin), Austin Burket (violin), Spencer Jones (clarinet), Tatjana Muroski (viola), Sarah Overton (cello), Manuel Rodriguez (tenor), Jesse Williams (baritone) and Chesley Woods (baritone).

Originally from Orlando, Fla., Pavlic has been an active performer and soloist with Stetson University’s Concert Choir, Women’s Chorale and Opera Theatre. A Duckwitz Talent Scholarship recipient, she will travel to Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Germany, this summer to perform the title role in Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea.

A native of Allegany, N.Y., Coatney has been an avid performer on Stetson’s campus, most recently having performed the role of the Old Lady in Bernstein’s Candide with the Stetson University Opera Theatre. This past summer, Coatney sang the role of Cherubino in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro at the Stara Zagora Opera House in Bulgaria.

Both Pavlic and Coatney are earning bachelor of music, vocal performance degrees.
