| Brandon Manning will perform at the Young Harris College Choir’s annual spring concert |
YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Young Harris College student Brent Manning, a freshman theatre major from
Franklin, Ga., will perform at the Young Harris College Choir’s annual spring concert on Tuesday, March 1,
at 7 p.m. in Glenn Auditorium of the Clegg Fine Arts Building on the Young Harris College campus. Manning
is a graduate of Heard County Comprehensive High School.
The concert will also serve as a fundraiser to benefit the YHC Choir’s European Tour in May 2011, and
contributions will be accepted. Tour merchandise, including CDs and T-shirts, will be available for purchase
in the Glenn Auditorium lobby. A Viennese coffee and dessert reception sponsored by YHC’s food service
provider, Sodexo, will take place immediately following the concert in the Robinson Dining Room of the
Grace Rollins Campus Restaurant. The cost for this special event is $5, with all proceeds going to help
students fund the trip.
The Young Harris College Choir’s annual spring concert is a celebration of vocal prowess and performance
as the 96-voice powerhouse takes on some of the most significant musical works of all time in this exclusive
preview of the Choir’s first ever European Tour.
The program will feature songs from the European choral tradition including “Dziedot, Dzimu (I Was Born to
Sing, I Will Always Sing),” “Blagoslovi, Dushe moya Ghospoda (Psalm 103),” “Heilig (Holy)” and “Ave Maris
Stella (Hail, Star of the Ocean).” The program will also feature distinctly American choral music including
“Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal,” “Dixie,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Shenandoah” and “He Never Failed
Me Yet.”
The Young Harris College Choir is directed by Jeff Bauman, YHC professor of music and director of choral
and vocal activities. Accompaniment will be provided by YHC Staff Accompanist Anita Guss on piano.
