The Performing Arts Department would like to invite you, your family, and friends to a free combined vocal and instrumental music winter concert on Friday, Dec. 2, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Orvis Activities Center’s Cappadonia Auditorium.
The concert band, under the direction of Gerald Ives, will perform the works of McBeth, Galante, and Reed, along with a medley of songs from the motion picture, “Pirates of the Caribbean.” The college’s vocal group, under the direction of Mary Weimer, will be performing songs from Broadway musicals.
This is the second full year of the rock ensemble, which will play classic rock numbers during the show. The jazz ensemble will be performing music ranging from the standard jazz repertoire to popular music.
“Our concert will close with the combined concert band and vocal groups performing a number to help celebrate the holidays,” Ives said. “Please come, watch, and enjoy Alfred State’s talented musicians ringing in the holiday season.”
Attendees are also encouraged to bring in their unused instruments and donate them to help an aspiring young musician - who cannot afford an instrument - enjoy and create the sounds of music.
