Henry Duitman, retired associate professor and conductor of the GVSU
Symphony Orchestra, closed out his GVSU and teaching career with a
special concert in April at Park Church in downtown Grand Rapids.
The concert, which showcased music from well-known operas, featured
soprano Ashly Neumann, '08, and tenor Min Jin, who served on GVSU's
faculty from 2010-2016.
Duitman, who joined GVSU in 2008, called it a "joy to work again
with two outstanding singers with whom I have collaborated in the
past." Duitman joined Grand Valley's faculty in 2008.
The University Arts Chorale, conducted by Kody Wallace, was also part
of the performance.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences program offers a venue for departments to invite notable alumni to share their experiences, insights and advice with students.
