Come see the 黑料不打烊 Music Ambassadors in concert on Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in McCrary Theatre
The 黑料不打烊 Music Ambassadors鈥 upcoming concert has been moved from Nov. 21 to Wednesday, Nov. 20.
This fall concert, 鈥淲anderlust,鈥 features a select group of talented student instrumentalists and vocalists showcasing a wide variety of genres, from jazz to pop.
Virginia Novine-Whittaker, lecturer in music and director of the concert, says the performance had to be rescheduled due to two students studying abroad.
鈥淚t is fitting that the theme of the concert is Wanderlust, and we are moving our concert date to allow students to travel,” said Novine-Whittaker.聽鈥淲anderlust is the lust to wander or a desire to travel. When you have wanderlust, you have that ache in your heart that needs to escape to new and beautiful places.”
Whittaker says the concert will consist of many different genres of music, including jazz, pop, Latin, country and even international music.
鈥淢any of our students have studied abroad, and these experiences bring a special meaning to some of the songs in our concert,” she said.
If the songs display colorful depictions of one鈥檚 love for traveling, they are sure to be heard in this performance.
鈥淭here is truly something for everyone at this concert,” said Novine-Whittaker.
The Music Ambassadors will perform “Vienna” by Billy Joel which holds special meaning for one member of the ensemble, Ella Nagel, who performed with an opera company in Vienna this past summer. The song depicts the importance of slowing down and admiring the view every now and then, something the Music Ambassadors encourage everyone to do as they come enjoy the beautiful music.
