Ann and Dennis Ross Endowed Faculty of Distinction in Opera

The appreciation Dennis and Ann Ross have for classical music and opera led them to endow a faculty of distinction position in opera in 2017. Before that, the Wichita couple had established a faculty of distinction position in organ. They generously agreed to move their support to the opera program after Robert Town, longtime associate professor of organ at Wichita State, left a bequest in his will supporting the faculty of distinction position in organ. By establishing the Ann and Dennis Ross Endowed Faculty of Distinction in Opera, the couple has enabled the WSU School of Music to hire the most renowned and respected opera singers to mentor and train tomorrow’s great opera performers.
