Cardinal Jazz Singers concert offers classic jazz, contemporary a cappella and Christmas cheer
From Pentatonix to B.B. King, Lamar University’s Cardinal Jazz Singers' concert on Nov. 19 will feature a variety of classic jazz standards and Christmas music, as well as more contemporary selections, all performed a cappella or with a live student rhythm section. The free concert starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Rothwell Recital Hall.
Directed by Rebecca Windham, instructor of voice in the Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music, the Cardinal Jazz Singers ensemble is designed to provide students with a dynamic musical experience that takes them from the classroom to the stage.
“Our focus is on vocal jazz as an art form,” said Windham. “I’m proud of how hard the students have been working to learn this challenging music and of how much our ensemble has grown in the last few years.
Membership in the Cardinal Jazz Singers is open to all LU students regardless of major. For more information, contact the Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music at (409) 880-8144 or visit lamar.edu/music.
