University Singers and Opera Workshop Take on DFW The University Singers and Opera Workshop ensembles had a small tour planned together when the call came in inviting them instead to sing at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas as part of the North Texas Metroplex Childrens Chorus’ annual concert. It was a wonderful opportunity to sing as prelude ensembles for their concert in a fantastic venue for a very appreciative audience. Under the direction of Drs. Jeffery Wall and Whitney Myers, the ensembles made a full recruiting and retention tour out of the trip with high school stops and excursions for NSU students. Along the way, they stopped to recruit at Moore High School, Horn High School (Mesquite, TX), North Mesquite High School, and Flower Mound High School. In addition to performing at the Meyerson, the ensembles also performed a full concert at St. Stephen Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth. Excursions included stops at the Perot Museum of Natural History and Reunion Tower. The NSU students represented our university, our college, music department, and state very well. Special thanks to collaborative pianist, Farren Mayfield.
