Spring 2008 Performance Schedule
GCC Music is proud to announce the performance lineup for
this semester. The concerts are as
follows:
April 19, 7:00 PM: GCC
Jazz Combo, The Boiler Room
Coffee Shop,
The talented GCC Jazz Combo presents an exciting
evening of standards and modern pieces and arrangements, in a variety of
styles, including swing, latin jazz, bebop, modern jazz, and funk.
April 24, 7:00 PM: Singin' & Swingin' I,
The Boiler Room
The popular
and unique recital features the combination of two studios: the jazz piano
studio of Professor James Dering and the classical
voice studio of Professor Mark McCrory. The
evening is a mixed-bag of performances by students in each studio, and will
also feature performances by the instructors. Vocalists will be
accompanied by piano, and jazz piano students will be backed up by bass and
drums. It's always fun and always different.
April 28, 6:30 PM: Singin' & Swingin'
II, The Boiler Room
The success of
past Singin’ & Swingin’ events necessitated adding a second evening. This is not a repeat, but rather an
additional performance by more students, and more performances by faculty.
May 1, 7:00 PM: GCC
Singers (Choir) Concert, Cruce Stark Auditorium
The choir has
worked hard for yet another semester putting together a variety of interesting
music. This semester's lineup includes a "tongue-twister" in
Russian, the beginning music for a Requiem Mass, a Renaissance Madrigal, a
vocal jazz piece, and a half-classical half-rock piece written by the director,
for choir, electric bass, and drumset, among other pieces.
May 2, 7:00 PM: Guitar and Bass Recital,
Professor David Tercero’s thriving studio of students put on a
performance of individual and various ensemble combinations, including
classical and more contemporary styles. Mr. Tercero (a classical
guitarist) will also perform.
May 3, 2:00 PM: Classical Piano Recital, Cruce
Stark Auditorium
Ms. Tatiana
Bays, our piano instructor, presents an exciting performance of her students,
including some two-piano works. Ms. Bays will also perform.
May 6, 7:00 PM: Woodwinds and Composition
Recital, Cruce Stark Auditorium
This new event
features a performance by Chris Badgett, saxophone, followed by a debut
performance of a very adventurous solo piano piece (almost 30 minutes long!) by
Michael Faber, a GCC composition student. The piece will be performed by
Sarah Crawford, our O'Dea Music Scholarship recipient. The event will also
include one or more additional pieces.
All concerts are free and
open to the public. Come out and support
your fellow students!
