A harmonious blend of talent, diversity Denise Williams Senior Staff Reporter Try and find somebody who doesn’t like music at Glendale Community College - it just can’t be done. Now find students who aren’t content to just listen, but be actively involved by breathing life into musical compositions. Some of these people are GCC’s own Chamber Singers. “The GCC Chamber Singers are an auditioned group of approximately 20 to 24 singers,” says the Chamber Singers instructor Craig Peterson. “Some of the students are voice majors but many are not. They meet three times a week and perform mainly a cappella music from the renaissance through the twentieth century as well as some vocal jazz music. In the past, the Chamber Singers have gone on tour with the Concert Choir to such places as California, New Mexico and Colorado. “I have found my time in Chamber Singers to be both enjoyable and challenging,” says Chamber Singer A. L. Burrows. “Mr. Peterson’s musical selections are great and have opened my senses to new styles of music. Chamber Singers is a great experience that I would recommend to everyone!” The selections the Chamber Singers are working on now are the madrigals “Matona mia cara” by Orlando Lassus, and “Weep Oh Mine Eyes” by John Bennet. They are also rehersing a French piece entitled “Belle et Ressemblante,” which means beautiful and resembling, “Ballad of Green Bloom” by Benjamin Britten, and an a cappella jazz piece by Bobby Troup called “Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring.” The Chamber Singers main concerts for the spring will be held on Thursday, March 11, and Thursday, May 6. All performaces are free and begin at 7:30 in the Performing Arts Center. Students and community members looking to broaden their musical horizons, or maybe even those who just simply enjoy fine musicianship, need look no further than the GCC Chamber Singers.
