Arts Across the Bay: Community Music Project in St. Petersburg
As part of its ongoing expansion of arts programming across the bay, the ±«Óătv College of The Arts is offering a choral class as part of its Community Music Project in St. Petersburg this semester.
University Singers is a vocal ensemble performing repertoire open to ±«Óătv St. Petersburg campus students and community members. Participants will learn to sing together in a full chorus as well as have opportunities to perform solo and smaller group pieces, including original music of their own.
“I’d like to think that for many people, music makes the world make sense,” said Allyssa Jones, director of Vocal Ensembles at ±«Óătv. “University Singers will provide an experience for vocalists of any skill level, where I’ll pick a couple of pieces based on where students are and they bring songs that we arrange together.”
The class kicked off at the start of the spring semester and will conclude with a semester-end concert on April 18 followed by an open house karaoke party on April 25. In between, participants will learn to read and perform choral music while creating their own arrangements that reflect musical and cultural interests.
