More Music At Moravian

Didn't have any plans for this weekend?  Then, I hope you checked out some of the music concerts that happened on campus!

There were quite a few concerts scheduled this weekend and each featured a different style of music too!  Here's who performed:

• Moravian College Jazz Combo II and Jazz Fusion
• Delta Omicron Musicale
• Moravian College Celtic and Baroque Ensembles

On Friday, Nov. 4, Moravian's Jazz Combo II and Jazz Fusion performed at 7:30 p.m. in Foy Hall.  Jazz Combo II is directed by David Roth (jazz piano) and Jazz Fusion is directed by Alan Gaumer (jazz trumpet).  Both Roth and Gaumer teach at Moravian.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, members of Moravian's chapter of Delta Omicron, which is an international music honors fraternity, performed their fall musicale.  Every musicale has a theme and this one was "Music Through the Ages," so a wide variety of musical styles were featured.  

Finally, on Sunday, Nov. 6, the Moravian College's Celtic Ensemble and Baroque Ensemble came together for a concert.  Alison Gillespie, who directs the Celtic Ensemble, specialized in Celtic Fiddle (similar to the violin).  Sarah Baer, director of the Baroque Ensemble, plays the oboe (a woodwind instrument) and actually graduated from Moravian with a degree in Music Performance.  

Did any of you check out these concerts?  What did you think?  Be sure to comment and let me know what you thought!
