Morton Performs in UL Lafayette Showcase
In mid-September, Dr. Paul Morton (LSM Trumpet & Jazz Faculty), along with several faculty and alumni from the School of Music and Performing Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette hosted a free showcase concert titled, “Promenade Musicale.”
The program had eight performances throughout the nearly two-hour show. Dr. David Ashton, Dr. Darren Cueva, Dr. Paul Morton and Dr. Garth Alper performed two jazz selections. “When the Lights are Low” and “Sea Journey” provided an energetic conclusion to an impressive afternoon.
In his 27th year, Dr. Morton, a professor of trumpet at UL Lafayette, described his love for music and the importance of supporting the arts.
“Music is my life’s passion. I love performing and teaching others to perform and teach it; supporting the arts is totally important. The arts make our children good citizens. The arts identify us culturally. The arts make all lives more enriched.”
