Bi-Co Music at Haverford: Chamber Singers Recall Ghana, Bryn Mawrter Stars in Orchestra

On Friday, April 13, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., in MacCrate Recital Hall-Union, many of the 35 students who participated in the Chamber Singers' recent cultural-exchange tour to Ghana will make a presentation of their trip, including slides, video, a panel of students discussing their experience, and African songs brought home by the Chamber Singers. The students will talk about their rehearsals and performances with five different Ghanaian choirs, being greeted by an entire village and its chief (whose nephew went to Haverford), singing for school children and villagers along the way, visiting the historical slave castles and bath houses of Elmina and Cape Coast, and their impressions of African culture and the people they met. A diverse group of Bi-College students will reflect on what was for many a life-changing experience. Refreshments will be served.

On Friday, April 13th, at 8 p.m., the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Orchestra will perform its Spring Concert under the direction of Heidi Jacob in Roberts Hall, Marshall Auditorium. The program will include the first movement of Barber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14, performed by first-year Bryn Mawr student Halley Cody — this year's winner of the student concerto competition — along with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The concert is free and open to the public. For more information: (610) 896-1011.
