A popular free cultural event presented by the department of music is back, featuring percussion, winds, jazz and vocal performances. The music department’s student ensembles will perform their annual Concert on the Lawn on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 2 to 5 p.m. While the performance has previously taken place at Byrnes Auditorium, it will be performed in the amphitheatre this year with Tillman Auditorium as the rain location. The event also coincides with Winthrop Family Day, and is included as an optional afternoon activity for students and their families.
The event, titled “A Musical Showcase,” will feature Winthrop Wind Symphony conducted by Lorrie Crochet, Winthrop Symphonic Band conducted by Doug Presley, Winthrop Swingin’ Eagles Jazz Ensemble directed by Tracy Patterson, Winthrop Percussion Ensemble and Winthrop Choral Ensembles conducted by Jeremy Mims.
Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and a picnic lunch. For more information, go to www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/MUSIC/upcoming-performances.aspx
