| Renowned singer's gift to rename Recital Hall Georgia State University will celebrate the contributions of renowned contralto and Professor Emerita Florence Kopleff on her 80th birthday with a ceremony May 2, naming the School of Music’s Recital Hall in her honor. “Florence Kopleff possessed one of the greatest contralto voices in the last half of the 20th century,” said John Haberlen, director of the School of Music. “American concert audiences lauded her artistry, and listening to any of her recorded concerts provides the evidence of her accomplishments.” Kopleff shared her talents and experiences with Georgia State students for over 30 years. In 1984, the New York native established a scholarship at the school to support the education of future generations of vocalists. Recently, she made a pledge to help renovate Recital Hall and a substantial bequest in her will to support vocal performance at Georgia State. |
