On Sunday afternoon, April 7, a free concert will be offered to the community at 4 pm in the Recital Hall of the Coulter Building on the WCU campus. Members of the audience will hear a "mixed bag" of musical styles, which will be performed by the chorus alone, the band alone, and, finally, four selections for combined forces.
A special feature of this program will be a composition which Bruce Frazier wrote, which is in memory of Michael Nichols, and dedicated to the ensembles and their conductors. Nightingales is a wonderful setting of the poem by Robert Bridges, which captures Mike's love of nature, and specifically, birds. Dr. Frazier will be leading the ensembles for this piece. The program will conclude with a rousing performance of America the Beautiful.
The community chorus is under the direction of Bob Holquist, and the band is conducted by Jon Henson and Bob Buckner. The directors and members of the ensembles hope that you will come out to enjoy the concert, and bring your friends.
