Dwight Gustafson serves as guest clinician for final week of 2009 Valor program
A recent turn of events causes us to praise the Lord as well as pray for a Christian brother. Steven White, opera conductor, who was to be the guest clinician for the last week of the summer program is not able to come to Valor this year for health reasons. He is in need of our prayer.
Fortunately, Dr. Dwight Gustafson, Dean Emeritus of the School of Fine Arts at Bob Jones University, has come on short notice to be the guest clinician for the final week of Valor. Dr. Gustafson commands our musical and spiritual admiration for his achievements and obvious love for the Lord and we count it a distinct privilege and honor to have him working with our students and faculty, sharing his personal testimony and imparting his musical insights to us.

Students of VSC will provide special music at East Delavan Baptist Church in Delavan, WI, Sunday night, July 19 at 6PM. The senior pastor is Rev. Steve Hollenbeck. For more information about the church please visit the website.
