Abilene Christian University's Music Department will welcome world-renowned pianist Nelita True for a performance in the Recital Hall of the Williams Performing Arts Center on the ACU campus Nov. 7 at 8 p.m., as well as a workshop and master class to be presented the following day. 

The recital will be performed on ACU's new Hamburg Steinway grand piano with a reception to follow sponsored by the Abilene Music Teachers Association.
