Logan Skelton, professor of piano at the University of Michigan, will visit the University as part of the Department of Music’s Dorothy MacKenzie Price Piano Series.
Skelton will present a master class Saturday, Nov. 22, at 10 a.m. and a recital Sunday, Nov. 23, at 3 p.m. in the Center for Performing Arts Recital Hall on Main Campus.
His recital program will include works by Liszt, Wagner and Bartok.

A devoted teacher, Skelton was honored recently by the University of Michigan as the recipient of the prestigious Harold Haugh Award for excellence in studio teaching.
