Composed
not only of music majors, but also of students from across the campus,
the Chorus will perform choral works from a variety of musical styles,
including songs by Cole Porter, Josquin des Près, and a magical
medley from Stephen Schwartz' Godspell. Additionally, students from the
MCCC Jazz Band and vocal performance majors will be featured.
The Mercer County Community College Jazz Band, directed by Professor James
Kelly, will present a varied and exciting program for this year's Spring
Concert on Tuesday, May 12, at 8 p.m. Repertoire will range from the early
New Orleans jazz of Louis Armstrong to the 1970s funk grooves of Tower
of Power. Selections will include the 1927 classic, "Potato Head
Blues," swing era gems such as "All of Me" and "On
Green Dolphin Street," ending with the answer to the eternal question,
"What is Hip?" All selections will feature improvisations by
jazz students, who will be performing in small group settings as well
as in the full band.
