The Wabash College Glee Club, Brass Ensemble, and Jazz Band will present a concert of classical music and jazz.
The Glee Club, under the direction of Lawrence Bennett, will offer a special anthem to celebrate the dedication of the Trippet Hall that took place earlier in the day. They will also sing works by Schubert and Daniel Gawthrop, as well as an arrangement of an early American revivalist hymn and the traditional school songs, Old Wabash and the Alma Mater. A small singing group, the T-Tones, will perform a jazz arrangement of the popular ballad Misty.
The Brass Ensemble, under the direction of Judd Danby, will perform a late Renaissance piece, Two Pavans, by Melchior Franck; a 20th century piece, Divertissement, by Walter Hartley; and a popular turn-of-the-(twentieth) century song, arranged for brass, In the Good Old Summertime, by Ron Shields and George Evans.
The Jazz Band, under the direction of John Hill, will perform Cole Porter's standard, You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To; the jazz tune, I Remember Clifford; and the well-known hit song, Heard It Through the Grapevine.
The concert is free and open to the public. Join us as we begin a new year!
