Austin Peay State University to rename Music-Mass Communication Building Concert Hall after George Mabry and Sharon Mabry

October 22, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – In 2010, a group of Clarksville residents, led by local lawyer Evans Harvill, set out on a mission to rename the state-of-the-art concert hall in Austin Peay State University’s Music/Mass Communication Building.

For more than 30 years, these individuals had enjoyed world-class musical performances presented by Drs. George and Sharon Mabry, and they thought it a shame that the two long-time APSU music faculty members didn’t have something properly honoring their service to the community.

APSU Autumn Salon Series to feature Sharon Mabry reading from her new book September 24th at the Customs House Museum

September 10, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – Throughout Dr. Sharon Mabry’s 35-year singing career, she has rushed through airports to make connecting flights, slept in small, cavernous hotel rooms, performed on stages with inadequate acoustics and dealt with the stress of lost luggage.

Those trials mark the typical, yet unglamorous, side of any professional musicians career, and for many, those obstacles are more than they can handle. But, for the truly gifted, singing can be such a rewarding a career, which is why Mabry, an Austin Peay State University professor of music, set out to write her new book, “The Performing Life: A Singer’s Guide to Survival.”

APSU’s Mabry’s New Book Examines “The Performing Life” Of A Singer

Sharon Mabry

Clarksville, TN – Dr. Sharon Mabry’s plane was delayed. The Austin Peay State University professor of music arrived at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston a little after 11:30 p.m., some six hours later than she intended. She was tired, having spent the day rushing through airports to make connecting flights, and she needed a good night sleep. The next morning, she was scheduled to sing live before a national audience on WGBH radio.

But when Mabry reached the front desk of the hotel, she learned her bad day was just beginning.

“We walked up to the counter, and this elegantly dressed man said he had given away our reservation because they were overbooked,” Mabry said.

She and her accompanist, Patsy Wade, were close to panicking. They explained to the clerk that they were supposed to perform a concert in only a few hours. «Read the rest of this article»
