In loving memory of Konnie Saliba, Professor Emerita at the University of Memphis and a visionary leader in music education. A dedicated educator with extensive experience in choral and general music, she influenced generations of students in public and private schools. As a nationally recognized Orff Schulwerk consultant, she directed the Master of Music program at the University of Memphis and served as National Chair, Vice President, and President of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association, earning its Distinguished Service Award in 1996.

Her impact extended globally through her workshops, courses, and publications, reaching audiences across the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, and the Dominican Republic. A program author for Silver Burdett’s Making Music series, her legacy will continue to resonate in the hearts of those she inspired and in the field of music education worldwide.

We're excited to have the 1997 "Solitaria esne hac nocte" Tiger back outside the Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center. This statue is a part of the Tigers Around Town initiative of the UofM Alumni Association and was donated by Hon. Robert L. "Butch" Childers (BAA '71, JD '74) and Amy J. Amundsen (JD '87). The Tiger was designed by Mid-South artist Steven Harper.
