UVSC’s Music Department will host four concerts December 4-6, each featuring a different performance group.
The Symphonic Band, under the direction of Wayne Erickson, will kick off this week of concerts with a performance December 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ragan Theater.
The following day, December 5, UVSC’s Symphonic Orchestra, directed by David Fullmer, will perform at the Ragan Theater, also at 7:30 p.m. The concert will include works by Beethoven, Johann Strauss, and Ralph Vaughn Williams, as well as music from MGM’s “That’s Entertainment.” The Orchestra will also perform “Hymn to the Fallen” by John Williams as a tribute to fallen military. The concert will also feature soprano Serena Kanig as a soloist.
On December 6, a choral concert, featuring UVSC’s Masterworks Chorale and Chamber Choir, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Ragan Theater. The Masterworks Chorale will perform works from Handel’s “Messiah,” and the Chamber Choir will perform traditional Christmas songs, accompanied by hand chimes and string instruments. “It will be very festive and fun,” says Dyanne Riley, UVSC music instructor and director of the concert. “It’s our gift to the public.”
All of the concerts are free and open to the public.
