             TIFTON – Music majors at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will perform Dec.5-6 at the Chapel of All Faiths at 5 p.m. each day.

The recitals will last approximately one hour and will feature a diversity of styles in performance ranging from voices to hand-held and upright instruments.  Performances are free to anyone who would like to attend.

            The Dec. 5 recital will feature Meagan Royal from Tifton, mezzo-soprano; Haley Parrish from Moultrie, contralto; Tori Bozeman from Moultrie, mezzo-soprano; Josh Harrell of Tifton, baritone; Harry King from Tifton, bass; Johnathan Thomas from Tifton, percussion; Rebecca Hampton from Tifton, percussion; Trent Lumpkin from Poulan, double bass; John Neely from Moultrie, guitar; and Stephanie Hunt from Tifton, clarinet.

            Participants in the Dec. 6 recital include Erlencia Mumphrey from Tifton, alto; Joshua Barber from Omega, tenor; Savannah Rogers from Norman Park, soprano; Michael Hamilton from Tifton, tenor; Ashley Williams from Tifton, soprano; Rebecca Fraser from Rincon, flute; Joshua Taylor from Ochlocknee, guitar; Chandler Hill from Adel, trombone; David Durden from Tifton, guitar; and Kayla Wise from Ashburn, soprano.

ABAC music faculty members Don Coates and Dr. Susan Roe said the music majors have been working diligently on preparing their individual pieces to present in recital. At the present time there are 24 music majors with 20 of those performing in recital this semester.  Roe said it takes am immense amount of time for each individual in practice, applied lessons, and dedication to prepare for this recital.

            “Both recitals are sure to be exquisite presentations of the talents of each dedicated student,” Roe said. “Musical selections will feature representative compositions of composers from the Baroque through the Twentieth Century.”
