Musica! to perform at Midwest conference
The members of Musica! would be wise to rest their vocal chords this week, because the professional vocal ensemble has a busy schedule ahead.
At 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21, 19 Musica! singers will lift their voices in a concert at David’s United Church of Christ, 170 David Rd. in Kettering. The local performance is a prelude to the group’s major showcase at the 2010 American Choral Directors Association Midwest Conference at Cincinnati’s Hilton Netherlands Hotel at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25.
Musica! is one of more than twenty choirs chosen to sing at the four-day conference.
“The David Church concert is free to the public,” said Robert Jones, artistic director of Musica!. “If people wanted to go to this conference, there’s a huge guest fee; which is why we wanted people to know if they would like to come to hear us before that, this is obviously the way to do it.”
Musica! faced stiff competition from more than fifty vocal ensembles statewide. After an extensive elimination process, Musica! got the nod.
“Basically I put together a portfolio that had information on the group,” Jones explained. “I put together a CD of three different selections. From that we were chosen.”
Musica! is the only adult vocal ensemble on the program.
“The rest are high school and collegiate (choirs),” Jones said. “The group is really proud and I think they should be.”
