One of the most popular First Tuesday Concert events of the year will take place on April 3 when Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College presents “A Night of Broadway Music” at 7 p.m. in the Chapel of All Faiths.

“In the past, we have often had a standing room only crowd at this event because everyone loves to hear the Broadway tunes,” Dr. Susan Roe, Head of the ABAC Department of Fine Arts and the First Tuesday Program Director, said.

Roe will lend her beautiful voice to the concert along with ABAC faculty members Brian Ray and Marti Schert.  Other performers will include past and present ABAC music majors as well as ABAC alumni and music educators Daniel Gibson and Katelyn Payne Gibson.  This concert is open to the public at no charge.

Roe, professor of voice, and Schert, adjunct voice professor, will perform the duet “For Good” from “Wicked” and Ray, professor of English, will perform “If I were a Rich Man” from “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Four students graduating in May with Associate of Fine Arts degrees in music will perform during the event.  Asiaunnya Bryant from Albany will perform a selection from “The Princess and The Frog” while Michael “Cody” Crews of Ocilla will sing another Disney selection from “Beauty and The Beast.”  Shana Morman from Valdosta will perform “My Man’s Gone Now” and “Mine” from “Porgy and Bess.” Natalie Shell of Adel will sing “Think of Me” from “Phantom of the Opera.”

Five ABAC freshman voice students will perform as well. Landon Chavis from Hazlehurst will sing “Bring Him Home” and Sydney Thomas of Colquitt will sing “On My Own” from “Les Miserables.”  Tyler Bennett from Douglas will sing “Dancing Through Life” from “Wicked.” Morgan Bridges from Dawson will sing “Home” from “Beauty and The Beast,” and Ashley Ulkovits from Moultrie will sing “Memory” from “Cats.” Bennett and Bridges will also sing a duet, “All I Ask of You,” from “Phantom of the Opera.”

Stephanie Sheffield, an Associate of Fine Arts in Music graduate from Moultrie, will sing “Easy as Life” from “Aida.”  Daniel Gibson and Katelyn Payne Gibson, former ABAC music students now living in Valdosta, will sing the duet “Fine” from “Ordinary Day,” “I Think I Got You Beat” from “Shrek the Musical,” and “Written in the Stars” from “Aida.”

The First Tuesday series, now in its 16th year, features regional professional artists on the first Tuesdays of five months during the year.  For more information, interested persons can contact Roe at [email protected].
