Dalton State College will celebrate spring with three Fine Arts
and Lecture Series events which are free and open to the public.
All events will take place on the stage of the Stan and Janet
Goodroe Auditorium of Memorial Hall.
At 7:30 pm on Tuesday, March 25, pianist Paolo Andre Gualdi will
play musical masterpieces on the College’s Baby Grand piano.
Gualdi, an award-winning pianist who has won the top prize in
numerous American and European piano competitions, will perform
musical works by Beethoven, Bartok, Liszt, and Ravel.
Also starting at 7:30, on Thursday, April 3, the Athens,
Georgia, based group Squat will appear on the same stage to
perform jazz tunes by four musicians who vocalize and/or play
guitar, piano, bass, percussion, and tenor sax.
“Squat is wildly popular in the Athens area, and has won the
Flagpole Athens Music “best jazz band” award six times since
1999,” says Jane Taylor, Director of Public Relations for Dalton
State College.
“Squat is a four-man ensemble group that performs original
material as well as jazz ‘standards’ inspired by a variety of
styles, including 60’s era Blue Note, Bossa Nova, Afro-Cuban,
blues, gospel, hip-hop, and New Orleans second line.”
And beginning at 7:00 pm, on Tuesday, April 15, Neely Young,
Editor and Publisher of Georgia Trend, will deliver the Westcott
Lecture. Mr. Young, who worked in Dalton for the Daily Citizen
News until 1986 when he left to become CEO of Morris Newspaper
Corporation, purchased Georgia Trend in 1999, a
50,000-circulation business and political magazine published in
all 159 counties in Georgia.
In addition to those experiences, Young has held various
positions as either editor or publisher for newspapers in
Valdosta, Marietta, Canton, and Clayton County.
Professionally, he is an award-winning columnist and has served
as the President of the Georgia Press Association, Associated
Press of Georgia, and Chairman of the Georgia Press Education
Foundation.
