On Friday, February 11, 150 high school students from across the state will gather on the campus of Delta State University for a weekend of singing at the annual Honor Choir festival.
These talented students were selected by audition to participate in the festival by members of the Delta State University music faculty.
Jeffery Redding will be this year’s guest conductor. He has conducted numerous all-state choirs throughout the country, and his choirs have appeared at regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association.
The choir will be accompanied by Dr. Kumiko Shimizu, assistant professor of piano at Delta State. The concert will also feature pianist Christopher Winston, saxophonist Steven Hugley, and violinist Anne-Gaelle Ravetto.
The three-day festival concludes with a performance at 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 13, in the Delta & Pine Land Theatre of the Bologna Performing Arts Center.
The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call 662-846-4115.
