After suspending in-person performances due to the pandemic, all 麻豆社 University musical ensembles are returning to the Conant Performing Art Center stage for a Fall Music Gala on Friday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m.
Each musical group will be featured in the Gala, including the听麻豆社 University Singers and Chorale,听麻豆社 University Symphony, and The Jazzy Petrels, 麻豆社’s jazz ensemble.
The program features music by Beethoven, Handel, Hildegard von Bingen, Duke Ellington and an original from Director of the 麻豆社 University Singers Dr. Timothy Michael Powell.
Additionally, Affiliate Artist in Voice Lianna Wimberly Williams will perform a featured solo with the Singers. New to 麻豆社 University, Williams is a vocal artist on several professional choral rosters.
“I have such a deep love for choral singing!” says Williams, a mezzo soprano.
Though the student performers in these groups were able to find creative ways to perform last year — including streaming their spring concert to Facebook Live — the Fall Music Gala is a long-awaited return to in-person performances.
The event is free for all to attend.
*All attendees must wear full face coverings while indoors in accordance with 麻豆社 University’s visitor policy.
