What's Happening . . .

Welcome or welcome back to our voice and choral page. Students at Fresno State had their first singing exams of the semester this past week. These exams are performed on stage and the student sings a new song they have been working. We do a lot of great work here at Fresno State, working on our singing technique as well as learning new and exciting repertoire, and it showed in these exams.

During the weekly noon hour recital this past week we heard three singers, Rebecca Mabe, Tim Howard and Anne Webster. Anne will be performing her Graduation Recital this week: Thursday March 5th at 8pm in Wahlberg Recital Hall.

Baritone Guy Barnes will be performing in the noon hour recital this coming Tuesday March 3rd at 12:30pm in the Concert Hall.

Congratulations and good luck to our singers who were accepted to compete for the Fresno Musical Club Scholarships on March 7th.

You are invited to come and see a dress rehearsal of the Dvorak Te Deum on Monday March 9th at 7pm in the Fresno State Concert Hall. The Fresno State Orchestra will be joined by the choir and soloists to perform this work.

Choir tour is coming up! The choir will be performing Tuesday March 17th at 7:30 pm at St. Patrick’s Church in Merced (671 E. Yosemite Ave., Merced, 95340). Come out and see them if you are in the area.

So as you can see our students have plenty of opportunities to perform: exams, noon hour recitals, solo recitals, choir tours, and large concerts with orchestra. Join us!
