Lebanon Valley College will host its annual College Choir Spring Concert on Sunday, April 24 at 3 p.m. in Lutz Hall of the Bertha Brossman Blair Music Center.
The program will feature a variety of well-known composers and contemporary works. One of the major songs undertaken by the choir was Mozart’s “Regina Coeli,” which will feature student soloists Rebecca Sausser ’16, Kimberly Merkert ’16, Nathaniel Kachel ’16, and Nathaniel Merrill ’16, as well as Evan Habecker ’16 on the piano.
Aside from Mozart, there will be also be songs such as “If Music be the Food of Love” by David Dickau, “You Raise Me Up” arranged by Roger Emerson, and “Time Warp” from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Another unique part of this spring concert is that the singers will also perform an original composition titled “O Remember,” which was written by Dr. Michael Wojdylak ’97, College Choir director.
Wojdylak, a 1977 graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, not only launched a career as a dentist, but also earned a second bachelor’s degree in music at LVC. He is an accomplished tenor soloist, private voice instructor, and adjunct LVC assistant professor of music. He has directed the College Choir for many years.
The Lebanon Valley College Choir represents students that come from a variety of majors. This group was founded in 1991 and it is one of three choral groups within LVC’s Music Department. Each year they continue annual performances alongside many of the other LVC music groups.
