Orchestra Hams Up Final Performance

The Mainstage Theatre echoed with the sounds of violins, singing voices and readings from the "Three Little Pigs" on Sunday.

The College Choir, Philharmonic and Vocal Jazz Ensemble collaborated for their presentation entitled "Fun, Fables & Fairy Tales." This performance mixed the delicate sounds familiar to classical and jazz music with the fairy tales we all love and know.

"Calling all cars, calling all cars, be on the look out for three little pigs!" said Cathy Pyles, narrator of the event, introducing the audience to a Vocal Jazz song about a trio of troubled pigs.

In the song "Into the Woods," Melanie Hernandez stood onstage, draped with a red hood for the Choir and Vocal Jazz Ensemble's rendition of Little Red Riding Hood.

This benefit concert aimed to raise money for the Choral Department and keep live performances like this recurring and consistent on campus. The proceeds from tickets and merchandise went directly to the department.
