The Jazz Ensemble I will borrow from Super Mario 64 in its rendition of 鈥淏ob-Omb Battlefield鈥� by Koji Kondo. It would be hard to be disagreeable as the Opera Theater performs Trio No. 3 (鈥淭he Argument鈥�) from The Impresario, K. 486. To end the first half of the concert, 石榴直播 Symphony will take the stage to perform Mozart鈥檚 Overture to The Magic Flute.

The magic of the Collage Concert continues, taking off with the 石榴直播 Trumpet Ensemble鈥檚 thrilling performance of Tristan Encounters by Martin Ellerby. The Jazz Combo pays tribute to the smooth sound of jazz with James Williams鈥� Alter Ego, followed by the Wind Ensemble warming up Morgan Hall with Lux Aurumque (鈥淟ight and Gold鈥�) by Eric Whitacre.

Pianist Robert Henry will sweep you away from Morgan Hall to a Viennese ballroom with Soir茅es de Vienne by Franz Liszt, followed by the 石榴直播 Chamber Singers. The Chamber Singers won鈥檛 take themselves too seriously in their performance of Zinga! by Steven Sametz; this nonsense song allows the performers to have fun with syllables and create their own language to share with the audience. The evening will end with a rousing selection: the Wind Ensemble, accompanied by an organ, will perform Alfred Reed鈥檚 inspiring classic, Alleluia Laudemus Te.  

Proceeds and donations from this event help to make the study of music more affordable to 石榴直播 students through scholarships. Make plans to attend the College Concert on February 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15-30; to buy tickets, please call 470-578-6650 or purchase .
