TIFTON, Ga. — The ABAC Concert Choir will perform a variety of choral music at its fall concert at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Howard Auditorium on the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The concert is open to the public at no charge.
Dr. Susan Roe, head of the Department of Fine Arts and a professor of voice, said the choir continues to increase in size and now has more than 65 students from all over the southeastern region of the United States. All soloists for the performance are students in the music program working toward an Associate of Fine Arts degree in Music.
The choir’s selections for the evening begin with “The Star Spangled Banner” arranged by Darmon Meader, followed by Zoe Hobby’s arrangement of Wayne Jones’ and the late Dr. Libby Campbell’s composition of ABAC’s alma mater. The choir will be accompanied by Dr. Andy Lagrimas, Assistant Professor of Piano and Theory for the ABAC music program.
The choir will then perform three selections by Joseph M. Martin and “O Magnum Mysterium” by Morten Lauridsen. The Chamber Singers will join the ABAC Concert Choir for Alisa Blair’s “Angel Breathing Out” and Dan Forrest’s “There is Faint Music.”
The performance will conclude with the concert choir singing “The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy” by Andre Thomas and Joseph M. Martin’s “Tell It On The Mountain.”
