With two shows in one weekend, the University Singers finished their season with a bang. When I attended Sunday’s show at 2:00 pm, I didn’t realize the talent I was about to witness. Made up of a group of more than 70 students, the University Singers also includes Renaissance, the all-women a capella group, and the Maine Steiners, all-men a capella group.
Performing for an audience of all ages, the singers premiered Blessing of the Animals, a song written by Beth Wiemann in 2008 who attended Sunday’s show. A crowd favorite was the performance arranged by Senior Nate Richards, for the University Singers Men. Here a young woman from the audience was chosen by a friend in the group to be sung to by the men, entitled Some Epic Medley, which was more or less a ballad of 80s love songs.
For anyone who has never seen the University Singers perform, it is a show well worth it. My friend and I both agreed we could listen to them sing all afternoon. Led by director Dennis Cox, the group is a talented one and finished their tour strong.
