MARANATHA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY

Alumni Siblings Perform Guest Recital

Duos Through the Centuries, a recent guest recital performed by MBU alumni siblings Joseph and Melody Steinbart, featured the beautiful music of Mozart, Shostakovich, and Handel, among others. The melodies from these composers whisked the audience away to another era—another century if you will.
