At 7 pm on Tuesday, Sep 24 in the Dalton Center Recital Hall at Western Michigan University, a day of singing and workshops will end with a public concert featuring the professional choral ensemble Cantus, Western Michigan University's tenor-bass choir Amphion, and a Tenor/Bass Day chorus of over 150 West Michigan teens. Dr. Amanda Quist, the new director of choral activities and a WMU alumna, joins Cara Lieurance to preview the concert and the upcoming WMU Choral Showcase on Oct 12. Their conversation also covers Quist's career highlights, which include preparing choruses for performances with major American orchestras like the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra, conducting the Grammy-winning ensemble Seraphic Fire, and performing as a vocal soloist herself.
Tickets for the Cantus performance are available at the door, and online at the Irving S. Gilmore School of Music website.
