Bass-baritone G. William Bugg and pianist Gregory Freeze will present a guest artist recital Jan. 13 in the McComas Hall theater.

Bugg, assistant professor of voice and director of opera at Samford University near Birmingham, presented his New York debut recital at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1986. The vocalist has appeared in operatic productions throughout the South and earned critical acclaim for his performances in "Don Pasquale," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Fidelio."

He has performed as soloist with numerous symphony orchestras, choral groups and oratorio societies, including the Alabama Symphony and the Louisville Bach Society.

Selected in 1970 as one of the Outstanding Young Men of America, Bugg has been honored by the Greater Birmingham Arts Alliance with the Obelisk Award for outstanding vocal performance. He also appears in "Who's Who in American Music."

Tickets are $3 for faculty, staff and students and $5 for the general public. They are available at the door.
