After 33 years of distinguished service, TCU faculty member, John Owings is retiring. With this recital, TCU and the Fort Worth community honor his musicianship and a brilliant versatile career that ranged from solo and chamber music recitals to concerto appearances in major cities in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. 
Consistently he won enthusiastic praise from audiences and critics for his exciting pianism and sensitive artistry. "Real spiritual elation" was how the London Daily Telegraph described his playing of the Elliott Carter Piano Sonata. The Cleveland Plain Dealer called his playing a "fine blend of technical brilliance with expressivity," and the Houston Post, reviewing his performance of the Ravel G Major Concerto, said, "the audience was spellbound."
