Women’s Chorus Sings Love Songs

On Sunday, March 25^th, the Moravian College Women’s Chorus performed their spring concert in Peter Hall.  Accompanied by Andrea Berntsen, the concert’s theme was “Songs About Love”, which included everything from songs set to Shakespeare text to classic love songs like the Irish Air Danny Boy, which featured Krysti Nappi '14 on flute, and A Nightingale Sang in Barkley Square.

The concert also featured a few students from the ensemble, which included several solos and a duet that were interspersed throughout the program.  The featured student performers included:

Arielle Brent ‘13

Alexandra Fontini ‘14

Julie Montes De Oca ‘12

Heidi New ‘15

Rachel Ruisard ‘14

Jazzy Thomas ‘13
Melissa Walters ‘14 

Megan Weaver ‘12

So, how was it?

The concert was extremely well received by all who attended.  

President Thomforde said, "The words, the music, and the setting all contributed to a great afternoon." 

Professor of music and composer-in-residence Dr. Lipkis said, "I really enjoyed the concert.  The programming was excellent--mixing the solos with the choral works."  

Eduardo Azzati, the director of the Women's Chorus, was also very pleased with and proud of the group's performance.

In other words, if you weren't there Sunday afternoon, you unfortunately missed a wonderful concert.  The hard work that Mr. Azzati, Andrea Berntsen, and the ensemble's 18 members put into their rehearsals all semester really paid off and the result was a beautiful concert all about love.
