cabaret style concert on Tuesday at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ. The concert featured solos, duets and ensemble
performances.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ music instructor and choral director Ferris Allen directed the concert while Lowella
Cherry accompanied on the piano. The night featured multiple solo performances. Sarah
Fitsimones sang “If I Loved You� from Carousel and “Silent Noon,� Terra Bruce with
“Brush up Your Shakespeare� from Kiss Me, Kate, Gracie Collins with “Anyone Can Whistle�
from Anyone Can Whistle and “L’heure Exquise,� Nicole Dixon sang “Taylor the Latte
Boy,� “Times Like This� from Lucky Stiff and “Ah! Love, But A Day,� Jamie Walsh with
Someone Else’s Story� from Chess and “Bester Juengling� from Der Shauspieldirektor,
and Tyler Montgomery with “Being Alive� from Company.
For the duet performances Jamie Walsh and Nicole Dixon showcased “Who Will Love me
as I am?� from Sideshow.
The ensemble cast of singers, including Terra Bruce, Gracie Collins, Nicole Dixon,
Connor Jacoby, Joshua Swanson, Tyler Montgomery and Jamie Walsh, performed “It’s A
Grand Night For Singing� from State Fair as well as “Time To Remember� from The Fantasticks.
“A program of ensemble and solo repertoire requires all singers to embrace a level
of vulnerability that goes beyond regular choral performance. National Park students
are a joy to teach because they are always willing to step out of their comfort zone
and take on an audacious challenge,� stated Allen.
