Jeffrey Adams of Arkansas City Performs on SC Choir Tour

2012 Feb 28

David Gardner, director of choirs at Southwestern College, has announced that the college's A Cappella Choir and SC Singers Spring Tour will perform in five different towns this month.

• Thursday, March 8, First United Methodist Church in Greensburg, 7 p.m.

Initially formed in 1927, Southwestern College's A Cappella Choir has built a long-standing reputation of excellence throughout Kansas and the Midwest. The SC Singers is a select ensemble whose members are auditioned from within the A Cappella Choir.

Membership of the choir is representative of the diversity of the college student population. This year's choir members come from six different states and three foreign countries – Northern Ireland, Malaysia, and Singapore.

"Choir tour is a great way to build relationships. We always look forward to reconnecting with alumni and old friends as well as making the acquaintance of new people and prospective students when we tour," Gardner says.

According to Gardner, this year's repertoire includes everything from baroque to jazz, as well exciting music between those genres.

For the performance in Richardson Performing Arts Center, devices to assist those with hearing problems are available in the box office, and an area is reserved for handicapped patrons and their companions in the rear of the hall.

Southwestern College is a private institution granting undergraduate and graduate degrees and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. About 1,700 students attend classes at the main Winfield campus, at five professional studies sites in Kansas and Oklahoma, or online around the world.
