In recognition of your dedication to excellence in Piano Performance, we wish to bring back the talents generated by the original Mission.

Dedicated to the memory of Southern University Professor Tourgee DeBose (African American Concert Pianist), this program epitomizes major contributions as an innovative pioneer for more than thirty years. Long-time member and Chairman of the Southern University Division of Music and “Dean” of Keyboard Studies, the annual competition-festival symbolizes a multifaceted career. His memorable success as a concert pianist was rivaled only by his love of teaching and pursuit of excellence in the development and promotion of talented young pianists. He motivated scores of music students; and, whose influence exemplified intense discipline, scholarship and artistry in Classical Piano Performance.

Annual presentations feature acclaimed artists and dedicated area and local professionals. Emerging young artists in concert/recital, master class and informance will be afforded expressions of unique cultural legacies. Recognitions of achievement and participation are available to all. Programming avails matchless musicianship and educational experience.
