Kasey Farrell, a junior from Sioux City, will perform a marimba solo during the ensemble’s performance of “Concerto for Marimba and Wind Ensemble.”
Towner has been at Morningside since 2004. He was previously a graduate teaching assistant of music at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, and the music director at Archbishop McNicholas High School and Lynchburg-Clay Local Schools in Ohio. Towner graduated from the University of Cincinnati and holds a master’s degree in music from Wright State.
