BAC THEATRE
Our final program in this year's Artist-in-Residence Orchestral series features works for chorus and orchestra by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Dr. Michael Lancaster conducts the Concert Choir and University Chorus, which will be joined by the Western Carolina Community Chorus and their director, Bob Holquist. The School of Music's Artist-in-Residence program brings professional string musicians from the Asheville Symphony Orchestra to perform orchestral masterworks and chamber music with Western's woodwind, brass, and percussion students. The program also supports hiring strings for choral programs, small operas, chamber music with faculty--even a live radio show! Although the vast majority of the 150+ programs the School of Music presents in a year are free to the public, we do charge admission for these orchestral concerts to help cover costs of rehearsal, rental of the hall, purchase of music, and other expenses. Thank you for your understanding and support troughout the year!
