Georgia College & State University will host students from high schools around Georgia on Friday, Sept. 25 for the 2009 Fall High School Choral Day.Choral Day is an opportunity for high school students to visit the Georgia College campus and spend the day learning and rehearsing choral pieces with Dr. Jennifer Flory and the Max Noah Singers.
Several students also will participate in a master class taught by voice professors, Dr. Wendy Mullen and Jessica Dennison and accompanied by staff accompanist, Lev Ryabinin.
“The repertoire for Choral Day this fall was chosen to help commemorate the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn’s birth and Haydn’s death,” Flory said. “We will sing two pieces by Mendelssohn, both choruses from oratorios, and a charming part-song by Haydn.”
