TVCC choral program scheduled
By Mark Meredith/TVCC Public Information
The Trinity Valley Community College Choral Program invites the community to attend their fall concert, “A Celtic Celebration,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015 at the First Baptist Church of Athens. The concert is free and promises to be exciting and full of various songs from folk to modern pop in a Celtic style.
The Cardinal Choir will perform songs allowing the listener to connect to the exuberance of the music and sometimes the deep contemplative nature of the songs. The Chamber Choir, a smaller group, will feature some more difficult works also set in a Celtic style. Finally, the group known as Encore performs music that is jazz, pop and rock. This particular concert features new songs sung by vocal groups Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder and a song or two not affiliated with the Celtic theme. Choral director Michael Matchael describes the music as “…fun, full of passion, educational and enjoyable to listen to.”
The choirs are accompanied by Mark Reeves and Kirk Overmoe.
