The second annual Vocal Fest will be held at Wayne Community College for young singers to learn from the College’s music faculty.
Students will spend the day rehearsing on Wednesday, Oct. 16, and will conclude with a mass choir performance at 4 p.m. in Moffatt Auditorium, located in the Wayne Learning Center (the main building on campus with the flag poles in front).
A total of 157 high school students from 12 schools across the state will join WCC choir students for the final performance. The high school choir directors and the College’s choir will also perform a musical selection together during the final concert.
Guest clinician Rue Lee-Holmes will offer a professional development workshop for the high school choir directors during the festival. Lee-Holmes will also be leading students and their teachers in body percussion exercises throughout the day.
In conjunction with Vocal Fest, performance videos of student solos or small ensembles that have been submitted will be evaluated by WCC’s music faculty. Three winners will get the chance to showcase their talents in a special performance at the concert and will receive a monetary award.
The concert is free and open to the public to attend. It will also be livestreamed on WCC’s YouTube channel.
