MARCIA SPECHT-GUY CONCERTO COMPETITION
In 1951 Marcia Specht was the first La Sierra student invited to perform as a soloist with the La Sierra College Orchestra, then directed by Alfred Walters. A student of Ralph Pierce, noted pianist and adjunct professor of music at La Sierra, Marcia played the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1 by Beethoven. Following her graduation from Loma Linda University School of Nursing in 1954, she married Fritz Guy, La Sierra College class of 1952.
After her death in 2006, Marcia’s family and friends established the Marcia Specht-Guy Concerto Prize, awarded each year to the winner of the annual concerto competition, to honor her memory and encourage student performance of classical music.
