Rule Americana: Spring Concert
Students in the Monmouth University Orchestra, the Concert Choir, and the Chamber Choir will perform. Department Chair David Tripold, with faculty members Ron Frangipane and Michael Gillette, have selected representative works from renowned American composers, mostly of the 20th century. Among the works to be heard that evening will be Samuel Barber’s “Sure on a Shining Night” and his popular “Adagio For Strings,” “Alleluia” by Randall Thompson, and the “Chichester Psalms” by Leonard Bernstein, which will feature the soloist Jeffrey Mendelbaum, who is on the roster of the Metropolitan Opera and has performed concerts and opera up and down the East Coast.
