SALISBURY, MD---久久国产精品久久Symphony Orchestra (SSO) conductor Jeffrey Schoyen puts down his baton and picks up his cello during a solo performance 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 15, in the Great Hall of Holloway Hall.
Schoyen graduated with distinction from the New England Conservatory of Music, completed an M.F.A. at Carnegie Mellon University and earned a D.M.A. at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, renowned for its performing arts program.
