Photos: Music Department’s Performance Highlights
January 23, 2020 - 11:09 AM
Student photographers William Deatherage and Charles Tran, working for the Marketing & Communications Department, attended a number of performing arts events as the semester came to a close, capturing images of their first public performances of the year.
Held at the Feddersen Recital Hall, the Chamber Winds Concert offered an exploratory
evening into the world of chamber music.
Organized and directed by Dr. Karen Marston, the event featured stellar musicianship.
Pristine flute-playing coupled with arpeggiated classical guitar echoed through the
room as Juan Ortiz and Brian Edwards reinterpreted Dans les ruined d’une abbaye, an 18th century piece.
The high brass ensemble built a triumphant journey with Procession of the Nobles.
Finally, the percussion ensemble performed an epic end to the night with Fanfare for Percussion, a pounding arrangement featuring impressive technique.
Children’s Choir By Charles Tran
Mt. SAC began a Children’s Choir in 2019 under the direction of the college’s choral

The Children’s Choir is actually made up of three choirs: the Dolce Choir is for first to third graders, the Cantabile Singers is third to sixth graders, and the Mt. SAC Youth Chorale for seventh to 10th graders.
