The Lamplighters Concert Choir and the symphonic band at Waynesburg University will host the annual spring concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Roberts Chapel. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

Waynesburg University students will perform a variety of melodies focusing on the rich history of music and performing arts in American culture.

The Lamplighters will perform musical selections from Waynesburg University student choir as well as vocal solo and small ensemble contributions.

The symphonic band will perform instrumental solo and small ensemble contributions with a focus on inspiring and informing audiences about American history.

Some of the musical pieces that will be performed at the concert include “Battle Hymn Chorale,” “God’s Country,” “American Civil War Fantasy” and “Valor.” The finale will be a joint performance with the Lamplighters and symphonic band performing “America the Beautiful.”

“Seeing your peers involved in skilled areas of music-making has to be uplifting,” said Ronda DePriest, associate professor of instrumental music at Waynesburg University and director of the university’s music program. “We hope to instill a sense of pride and community in the talents possessed by the student musicians at Waynesburg University.”

After the concert, guests are invited to visit with students and faculty at the reception in the Marsh Center. For more information, contact DePriest at depries@waynesburg.edu or 724-852-3420.
