FORMANCES Dr. Kevin Fenton leads members of the University Singers in a concert in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall (pictured above). Fenton recently received a Fulbright Specialist grant to help introduce a choral conducting curriculum at the Kenya Conservatoire of Music. Fenton, along with Professor Valerie Arsenault and members of the Bach Parley, also spearheaded the creation of the “Bach’s Lunches,” a series of noontime concerts of Baroque Music in the lobby of Ruby Diamond Concert Hall. In addition to performances in the Faculty Chamber Series and the Faculty Showcase Recitals, several College of Music faculty members gave solo or duo performances during the Spring 2016 semester. Pictured here are Shannon Thomas and Deloise Lima; David Kalhous and Heidi Louise Williams; and Chuck Chandler.
The University Symphony Orchestra and the Florida State Opera program teamed up for a gala concert conducted by Professors Douglas Fisher and Alexander Jiménez in January 2016. Student vocalists presented duos, trios, and quartets from well-known operas with full-orchestral accompaniment. The USO also performed several instrumental excerpts, including the Overture to Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer.
