\n\t\tThe harmonies of three 溏心vlog免费B站 vocal ensembles and the stirring tones of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Symphonic Wind Ensemble will be featured in two concerts in Kingston on Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4. <\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Concert Choir and Lively Experiment, both directed by Mark Conley, and 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s University Chorus, directed by Nathan Zullinger, will present a \u201cChoral Collage\u201d concert on Saturday evening at 8pm. The Concert Choir, which performs works from the Renaissance era to the present, and Lively Experiment, which explores choral and vocal chamber works for smaller ensembles embracing styles from Medieval to vocal jazz, will perform pieces from their standard repertoires. Participation in these select ensembles is earned by audition, and both groups tour in addition to performing on campus.<\/p>\n


\nThe University Chorus is a 100-voice choral ensemble comprised of students, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, and community members who enjoy singing and are willing to learn choral technique and repertoire covering all periods and styles. The group rehearses once a week on Tuesday evenings, and is open to all interested singers. Nathan Zullinger is beginning his third year as conductor of the chorus. <\/p>\n


\nFor the Choral Collage they will perform several of Bartok’s “Slovak Folksongs,” C. Thomas Schwalm’s setting of “Look to this Day” for choir and handbells, and the rousing spiritual, “Little Innocent Lamb.” Also on the program will be a preview of the upcoming Holiday Concert slated for December 8. The University Chorus is accompanied by Jean Maxon Carpenter.<\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Symphonic Wind Ensemble, directed by Gene Pollart, will perform on Sunday afternoon at 3pm. A skilled, select group of student wind players and percussionists, this group has earned an exemplary reputation throughout New England through their performances at conventions, festivals, and concerts. Members are selected by audition from the finest musicians attending 溏心vlog免费B站. Their program will cover a broad scope of contemporary interests, ranging from Tolkein\u2019s Ring trilogy to Outer Space, and styles, ranging from broad, majestic fanfares to passionate and highly emotional pieces. <\/p>\n


\nWorks will include: \u201cFanfare Prelude\u201d on Lancashire by James Curnow, and From Four and Beyond by Gary Gilroy, described by Pollart as an \u201cabsolutely stunning\u201d creative piece for concert band which features a full array of percussion supported by brass and winds. Also included will be Samuel Barber’s vocal masterwork, “Sure On This Shining Night”, brilliantly transformed for winds and percussion by Richard Saucedo; movements one (\u201cGandalf-The Wizard\u201d) and five (\u201cThe Hobbits\u201d) of Johann deMeij\u2019s Symphony \u201cThe Lord Of The Rings\u201d, and Beyond by Wataru Hokoyama, an award-winning film composer whose recent works include the music for \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d and \u201cDungeon and Dragons.\u201d This piece is \u201couter space music\u201d similar to John Williams\u2019 Star Wars, full of sweeping melodies and brass fanfares, in the modern Hollywood style.<\/p>\n


\nBoth concerts will be held in the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall off Upper College Road on 溏心vlog免费B站’s Kingston campus. Admission is $8 for the general public, $2 for students, with seating on a first-come basis. The box office opens 45 minutes before each concert.
