When Stevie Wonder starts referring to you as "Dr. Music," you've got to be doing something right. Henry Panion, chair of the University of Alabama at Birmingham's music department, has been working with Wonder for the past four years, accompanying him on his Natural Wonder tour as an arranger and conductor. Wonder has now returned the favor with a benefit concert, the proceeds of which will go toward creating the Stevie Wonder Center for Computing in the Arts as well as scholarships. The university, with seasoned music technology veteran Panion at the helm, will be one of only a handful of schools that offer a degree in music technology.
