The Southern State Singers will present a spring concert 3 p.m. Sunday, March 11, in Room 107 of Southern State Community College's Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The event is free and open to the public.
"The music for this performance is from 1612 up through 2011 with scenic stops along the way, such as in those early years to listen to the story of a Silver Swan," said director John Glaze. "A later stop brings us to the land of Madame Butterfly where we hear the lovely chorus sung without words. Another stop allows us to visit Gabriel Faure's beautiful Cantique de Jean Racine. A stop in 1940 allows us a listen to Randall Thompson's "Alleluia."
The program will include a "multi-century gallop through music," including Thomas Morley's "Sing We and Chant It," Orlando Gibbons' "The Silver Swan," Orlando di Lasso's "Matona, Lovely Maiden," Randall Thompson's "Alleluia," Sally K. Albrecht's "Let the Earth Resound," Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" (from Requiem), Gabriel Faure's "Cantique de Jean Racine," Giacomo Puccini's "Humming Chorus," Howard Helvey's "White Branches," David and Jean Perry's "Follow Your Dream," Joseph Martin's "The Epitaph," Elton John's "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," and Jerry Bock's choral showcase from "Fiddler on the Roof."
The Southern State Singers is a choral group comprised of students of Southern State Community College as well as members of the community. The group is directed by John Glaze; Melanie MacDowell performs as accompanist and Jennie Harner performs as flautist. For more information, please contact Glaze at jglaze@hcf.com.[[In-content Ad]]
