Choral Showcase videos and Facebook fan page

The first concert of the 2009/2010 academic year, the Fall Choral Showcase, is over, and it went great. Here's what a few of the members of the choir have to say about it:

Blythe Enke (Soprano II): “There is no way to truly describe the feeling of performing with the Singers until you're right there, actually doing it... I wasn't prepared for the way I would feel when we walked onto the stage, I was so overcome with emotion that I felt like I wanted to laugh, cry, and be lifted up into the sky all at once... hallelujah!"

Anna Lucero (Alto II): "The music was absolutely phenomenal-I was going to die it was so beautiful!"

Paul Hill (Bass II): "I was really pleased with our performance and I received lots of positive feedback about it. I was told by one person that it was nice for him to hear a concert where everyone was in tune. My mom had tears in her eyes as we finished the Circle of Life and I knew we'd done something special.”

Choral Showcase coming soon!

The first concert of the 2009-2010 season is just two weeks away: the Choral Showcase!

The concert features the Singers, the A Cappella Choir, and the Women's Choir and comes after all the choirs only being together for about 3 1/2 weeks. It's a crazy, adrenaline-filled few weeks, and the Showcase is the result! It's always a fun concert and gives a great preview of what wonderful things are going to come during the year.

It's Saturday, September 19, at 7:30 PM at Libby Gardner Concert Hall.

Tickets are $3 for students and $7 for general admission. They are available from any choir member, from the Kingsbury Hall box office, or from the box office at Libby Gardner Concert Hall the night of the concert.

Don't miss it!
