On December 6th at 8:00 p.m., a choral concert called “An Evening in December” will be held in Sinclair’s Blair Hall Theatre (Building 2) which will be conducted by Daniel Greene, a music professor here at Sinclair.
The concert will feature the “Sinclair contemporary Gospel Ensemble” with alumni who will make this part of the show a “reunion”, says Greene. As well as current members, at least 20 other members will join as they sing three songs accompanied by a 4 horn section complete with drums, bass, guitars, and piano.
The next part of the concert will be a “Carol Sing” composed by the Gospel Ensemble, the SCC Opera/ Music Theatre Ensemble, and community members who have been invited to come together to create the Sinclair Choral Union. The ensemble will be singing some popular holiday carols, but the audience will also be invited to sing along.
The final part of the performance will include the SCC Opera/Music Theatre Ensemble. The group will perform a multitude of staged excerpts such as Mozart’s “Magic Flute”, “Don Giovanni”, and “The Marriage of Figaro”. Broadway musicals will also be performed including “Songs for a New World”, performed by Jason Robert Brown. A few comedy surprises will be ref lecting the holiday season as well as being treated to lights, costumes, singing, and acting by the SCC music and theatre performance majors.
