JONESBORO — The Lecture-Concert Series at Arkansas State University will present tenor Limmie Pulliam and pianist Mark Markham in concert at 7:30 p.m. today (Thursday, March 16), in Riceland Hall of Fowler Center, 201 Olympic Drive. Admission is free.
Pulliam, a native of Missouri, has joined pianist Markham for a series of recitals titled “Make Them Hear You: A Spiritual Journey.” He also will be featured on operatic greatest hits concerts with the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra and the Delta Symphony in Jonesboro.
In December, Pulliam made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Radamès in Aida, the latest in a long series of professional performances that include the Cleveland Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, and his alma mater, Oberlin Conservatory.
Markham, whose performance career has taken him to 30 countries, is a former faculty member of the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. His recording with Jessye Norman of “Roots: My Life, My Song” was nominated for a Grammy Award. He earned his doctoral degree in piano performance at Peabody Conservatory.
Admission is free to this and all events in the Lecture-Concert Series, which serves A-State and the surrounding communities by bringing notable guest speakers and performers of diverse backgrounds and wide appeal to the campus, according to Dr. Ed Owen, chair of A-State’s Lecture-Concert Committee.
