ABAC’s First Tuesday Concert Series presents spring lineup
A new year will offer many exciting performances as Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College resumes its First Tuesday Concert Series on Feb. 3.
The ABAC Arts Connection will host engaging concerts in February, March and April featuring the Trillium String Quartet, the ABAC Concert Choir and The Songs of Broadway! respectively. All First Tuesday Concert Series events are free and open to the public.
Trillium, which will perform at ABAC’s Howard Auditorium on Feb. 3, focuses on classical pieces while exploring new ways to present traditional music. The group formed in 2024 and has entertained audiences nationwide. “This concert will bring a wonderful evening of music and will provide a holistic educational opportunity to everyone with a special interest in chamber music,” said Dr. Jennifer Huang, head of the Department of Fine Arts.
On March 3, it’s the ABAC Concert Choir to present the stunning Requiem in D Minor, Op. 48 by Gabriel Fauré at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Tifton. The requiem was composed to reflect Catholic Mass through flowing, peaceful melodic lines. “We chose this piece for its variety and transcendent properties,” said Marti Schert, director of the ABAC Concert Choir. “Not only is the piece extremely dynamic, but the emotion it conveys is palpable. It was written in memory of Fauré’s parents, and those who hear it truly get a sense of how much they meant to him.” The ABAC Concert Choir will channel Fauré’s vision.
Wrapping up the series on April 7 is The Songs of Broadway! to be performed by past and present ABAC music majors at ABAC’s Howard Auditorium. Now in its 22nd year of production, this concert will take its audience into a “whole new world” as it explores a variety of classic and modern show tunes.
All events are at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
