Renaissance Center music faculty presents 2 free concerts April 1

Release Date: 3/15/2004. Expired: 4/1/2004

The Renaissance Center’s music faculty will be featured in two free performances in the rotunda on April 1.

April Fool’s Follies will be presented at 1 p.m. as part of the center’s Senior Days schedule. The music faculty will perform in a 7 p.m. concert that is free and open to the public.

“We have a diverse and talented group of full-time and adjunct instructors on staff at The Renaissance Center and we wanted to showcase each one of them,” said Elaine Sherrill, senior director of Music. “The faculty members who are available during the day will present our Senior Day program. The evening show will include additional members of our staff, since several of them teach and work elsewhere during the day.”

Sherrill said the recital will consist of a very eclectic collection of performances, from classical to jazz, from spirituals to contemporary pop. The faculty members will perform individually, in duets and various ensembles, even presenting some original material.

Performances will include voice, piano, violin, guitar, flute, mandolin, harp and harmonica, just to name a few.

Scheduled to participate in one or both shows are Sherrill, vocal instructors Kelli Workman, Richard Fudge and Marilyn Fair, piano instructors Jeffery Martin and Leslie Hudson, strings instructors Malinda Stenberg and Temperance Babcock, harp instructor Carol McClure, harmonica instructor and two-time national champion Glenn “Wailin’ Wood” Woodland, guitar instructor Steven Dial, band director Darin Cochran, mandolin, guitar, bass and banjo instructor Jeff Rogers, Grammy-winning songwriter Don Rollins and flautist Tara Rogers.
