Chamber Choir – Guest Performance at UT
Why are we doing this performance?
We were invited by Dr. Suzanne Pence, Associate Professor of Music and Human Learning/Choral Conducting and the Conductor for Concert Chorale to perform as a guest artist with the UT Concert Chorale. In recent years, choirs have been invited to share the stage with Concert Chorale, and we are fortunate to have been asked to perform. Additionally, we have an opportunity to perform collaboratively with the UT Horn Ensemble, directed Patrick Hughes, who is the father of Westwood ’20 Soprano, Elsa Hughes. Westwood ’19 alum, Cordell Foulk, will perform as a member of the Horn Ensemble.
