CANTON , OH (04/03/2013)(readMedia)-- The Malone University College of Theology, Arts, and Sciences – Department of Music -- recently presented a senior recital featuring Lucia Veon, a senior choral music education major from Mogadore; and David Gorski, a senior music education major from Chesterland, on Monday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Stewart Room of the Randall Campus Center.

David Gorski says that he is always willing to discover, develop, and deploy his talents as an offering of worship for the King.

Gorski has studied saxophone under the illustrious Dave Kana during his time at Malone. His involvement stems out of the band environment as well, contributing to campus ministries such as Celebration (3 years of service) and Chapel Band.

Gorski is a recipient of the Malone Academic Honors Scholarship and Malone Instrumental Scholarship and was selected to receive a Who's Who Among Students award on behalf of Malone University. Gorski is currently a student teacher in the Fairless Local Schools district and plans to graduate this spring, ever looking forward to further Christ's Kingdom post-graduation.
