FIRST TUESDAY SERIES BEGINS SEPTEMBER 5

TIFTON-- The first concert of the semester in the First Tuesday Performance Series at Abraham Baldwin College will take place Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Chapel of All Faiths. Dr. Susan Roe, professor of voice, is the series coordinator. ABAC faculty and staff will be featured in the opening concert.

Individual tickets for the performance may be purchased at the door. The cost is $3 for adults and $1 for students. ABAC students are admitted free with ID. Patrons of the Arts and Entertainment Series can also attend at no charge.

This is the fourth year that in conjunction with each First Tuesday performance an art exhibit will be in the Music Building adjacent to the Chapel. It will feature paintings, drawings, and two-dimensional designs by ABAC students. The exhibit will be open for viewing before and after the concert.

Wayne P. Jones, a bass-baritone, will perform Bach’s Solo Cantata for Bass from Ich habe genung. Handel’s Sonata V and Mozart’s Concerto in D Major will be performed by flutist Sherri Wyles Grabowski. Roe, a soprano, will sing O Divine Redeemer by Gounod and Nel cor piu mi sento from La Molinara.

Don Coates, Director of Bands at ABAC, will perform two selections on the trumpet. The first piece is Sonata for Trumpet and Strings by Henry Purcell, followed by Canonic Sonata No. 1 by Georg Philipp Teleman.

The concert will conclude with a Eugene Wyles piece for the saxophone titled Lover Man by Jimmy Davis, Roger Ramirez, and Jimmy Sherman.
