From the February 11, 1982 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Wayne native to be featured in Wayne State College recital
Professional baritone John Brandstetter will accomplish two things when he visits Wayne State College on Feb. 17 - he will present a recital at the college and celebrate a homecoming in his native Wayne at the same time.
Brandstetter will perform on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 8 p.m. in Ramsey Theatre of the Val Peterson Fina Arts center on the WSC campus.
Admission is $2.50 at the door the night of the show.
Brandstetter received his musical education at the University of Nebraska, and served an apprenticeship with the Santa Fe Opera.
Now based in St. Paul, Minn., Brandstetter is a regular member of the Minnesota Opera.
His impressive list of credits includes engagements with the companies of Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Aspen, Virginia, and Omaha.
