Center Stage
Back from a Three-State Tour
Just back from an annual New England tour, University Singers will perform its annual Spring Concert in Minsky Recital Hall at 2 p.m., Sunday, March 21.
During spring break, the Singers performed 14 concerts in five days in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The annual tour recruits for the University; in the past, it has drawn students to the music program from throughout New England and New York.
The Spring Concert will highlight the repertoire of the concert tour. This semester, Dennis Cox, who directs University Singers, is on sabbatical. Leading the Singers is Shannon Chase, a second-year graduate student in choral conducting. Assistant conductors include students Beth Clark and Scott Pettingil, both fourth-year music education majors.
Also taking the stage with the Singers will be University of Maine Steiners, an all-male a cappella ensemble, and Junction, a mixed jazz vocal group. Among the many works to be performed will be an original composition by UMaine music major Casey McCann.
