Dr. Richard Seiler will open the ULM Faculty Artist Subscription Series Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Beidenharn Recital Hall. There will be three prevalent themes throughout the program. The Spanish portion will honor Louisiana's Spanish heritage, the French portion will honor the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase, and the "war" portion will honor the events of 9/11 and the ensuing war. The war piece is Sonata No. 6 in A Major by Sergei Prokofiev, two French Sonatas by Dominico Scarlatti and several Spanish Dances by Enrique Granados.

Dr. Seiler is chair of the Keyboard Department in the Division of Music. He has performed extensively as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist throughout the southeastern United States. He also serves as organist/choirmaster at Grace Episcopal Church in Monroe.

This concert is the first installment of the new ULM Faculty Artist Subscription Series. Season tickets and individual event tickets are available. Tickets for Thursday's recital are $7.00 per person. Call Carolyn Bruce at 342-1570 for more information. A reception will follow the concert.
