The Waynesburg University Music Program is presenting the Spring Concert Saturday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in Roberts Chapel, featuring performances from the University Symphonic Band and the Lamplighter Concert Choir. The event is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Dr. Ronda DePriest, director of the Music Program, said the Spring Concert is one of her favorite events because it gives students the opportunity to showcase skills they have worked on all year.
“I am always excited for our spring concerts because the students have accumulated a tremendous amount of playing and singing knowledge and experience throughout the year,” said DePriest. “We also salute our seniors, especially those who have become family over their four-year collegiate time at Waynesburg.”
The performing groups will play a variety of pieces from a myriad of artists. One piece will even be performed with the James D. Randolph Kiltie Band. DePriest describes the performances as a celebration of the season.
“We hope both the campus community and the southwest Pennsylvania community will join us for this springtime celebration through song,” DePriest said. “It is a tremendous thing to be able to meet together through music any time throughout the year, and the opportunity to celebrate through music this spring is certainly no exception.”
Founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Waynesburg University is located on a traditional campus in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, with three additional sites located in the Pittsburgh region. The University is one of only 22 Bonner Scholar schools in the country, offering local, regional and international opportunities to touch the lives of others through service.
