The Tusculum College Community Chorus will presents its spring concert on Monday, May 4, featuring sacred European masterworks and music from “My Fair Lady.”
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building, and there is no admission charge for the program. The Chorus is under the direction of Dr. David Hendricksen, and Jim Winfree is accompanist. This concert will be the last for Dr. Hendricksen as director of the group. He has served as the director of the chorus since its inception.
The program will open with several short European sacred masterworks by Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Hammerschmidt and Telemann, all accompanied by an ensemble of professional instrumentalists.
The second half of the concert will include Johnny Mercer’s song “Dream,” several folk song settings and a medley of music from “My Fair Lady.”
Those attending the concert are invited to stay for a reception honoring Dr. Hendricksen following the performance.
The Community Chorus was founded in the spring of 1996 with 35 singers as an avenue for folks in the community to enjoy singing together. Over the years, more than 300 different singers have participated in the group.
