The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ) Singers hosted “It’s A Grand Night For Singing,â€� a 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 Youâ€� from Carousel and “Silent Noon,â€� Terra Bruce with “Brush up Your Shakespeareâ€� from Kiss Me, Kate, Gracie Collins with “Anyone Can Whistleâ€� from Anyone Can Whistle and “L’heure Exquise,â€� Nicole Dixon sang “Taylor the Latte Boy,â€� “Times Like Thisâ€� from Lucky Stiff and “Ah! Love, But A Day,â€� Jamie Walsh with Someone Else’s Storyâ€� from Chess and “Bester Juenglingâ€� from Der Shauspieldirektor, and Tyler Montgomery with “Being Aliveâ€� 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.
