Yavapai Community College Chorale and Chamber Singers provide songs from Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, and others
The Yavapai Community College music department presented a one-hour concert March 28, 2017 on the Verde Campus at 7 PM. It was entitled “Broadway Melody’s.” The College Community Chorale chose songs by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II in addition to selections by Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner. The Chamber Singers chose songs by George and Ira Gershwin and Stephen Schwartz.
The program was under the direction of Scott Neese. He is an adjunct professor at the College and has directed, music directed, or performed in over 40 musicals. The accompanist was Peter Mueller, an adjunct professor at the College with an extensive musical background.
The Community Chorale had 46 singers, most of whom were from the Prescott area. There were 16 Chamber Chorale singers, with most of them also coming from the Prescott area.
The audience in building “M” was small, about two dozen attended the free event, but they were very appreciative. Kudos to the Community Chorale and the Chamber Singers for their Tuesday evening concert.
