Friday evening, I attended the Chancellor’s Arts Showcase — an annual event where the best of Tiger creativity is on full display.

Among the highlights was “Echoes,” a piece by 2022 Sinquefield Composition Prize winner Luis Hermano Bezerra and performed by MU’s Wind Ensemble. The showcase also featured groundbreaking pieces from many fields, including theatre, architecture and the visual arts.

It was great to see our students’ work at the historic Missouri Theatre. Creative excellence is a vital part of how we discover new ways forward and better understand our world. I enjoyed sharing in their vision and passion.
