ABAC Choral Program Concert November 1st in Howard Auditorium
Tuesday, October 30th, 2018
Sixty-five voices will align in perfect harmony on Nov. 1 when the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Concert Choir presents its fall concert.
Dr. Susan Kirby Roe, Head of the Department of Fine Arts and the conductor for the event, said the concert will begin at 7 p.m. in Howard Auditorium on the ABAC campus. It is open to the public at no charge.
“We always look forward to this concert because it involves so many of our students who have worked extremely hard over the past several months,” Roe said. “The community is very gracious in its support of these students, and we promise to give everyone who attends a night of music that will be quite pleasing to their ears.”
Selections from the Concert Choir will include “Grant Us Thy Peace,” “Flight Song,” “The Road Home,” and “Unclouded Day.” Alexandria Branch will be the featured soloist on “The Road Home.”
The ABAC Chamber Singers will be featured in “What Sweeter Music,” and The ABAC Singers will be spotlighted in “There is Faint Music.” Sydney Thomas will be the soloist for The ABAC Singers.
Dr. Zheng Jennifer Huang, one of ABAC’s newest faculty members, will be the accompanist for the evening. Huang has performed numerous recitals and concerts as a pianist and harpsichordist in Asia, Europe, and the United States. She received second place in the 1996 Hong Kong Open Piano Competition for Asian Musicians and has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center.
