Congratulations to Inspire alum and Director of Choirs for the Riverview School District, Mr. Markell Cox!
“Music has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember,” says Markell Cox of Wynne, Arkansas, a senior at the University of Arkansas majoring in music education.
🎤 One of the main reasons he initially chose the U of A was the University of Arkansas Inspirational Chorale, a performance ensemble within Fulbright College’s Department of Music dedicated to preserving the tradition of Black sacred music.
“There are few choirs in the country that have the ability to sing such a vast variety of music at the standard that Inspirational Chorale does,” he says, “so once I found out about the Inspirational Chorale, the decision on where I needed to attend college was clear.”
🎵 Markell says his next step after graduation will be teaching choir at Riverview High School in Searcy, in the hopes that he can “one day give the same opportunities to the next generation."
