Hi everybody. This fall opera scenes/workshop class
will be totally on-line. It's gonna be really unique and I hope, super cool! I'm looking for 9-12 singer/actors. You will prep your song at your own location. I've selected Songs of Travel by Vaughan Williams. Each person will have a song, you will be responsible for the creation of your own character, costume, make-up, set and even lighting. You'll be coached by me on singing and acting and you will have other tech people that you will consult with to get the most out of your location and situation. I will edit your home-created videos and tie them together with a narrative and then the whole thing will be broadcast on-line at the end of the term. Contact me ASAP if you would like to participate! The songs come in high and low keys, so all are welcome. Best, Dr. Helppie🤩
Just a final reminder. The concert is Tuesday, February 25th not the 18th as it says on the poster. Come help us celebrate Black History month with some inspiring spirituals. We also tell the story behind the music! Hope to see you there!
WOU students and friends,I am reprising a concert with soprano, Kurleen Nowickas, and pianist, Debra Huddleston called Songs of Struggle and Hope on February 18th. A program of African American Spirituals arranged by various arrangers; Moses Hogan, H.T. Burleigh and others. See the attached poster for other details. BTW, Kurleen was once a vocal student of mine at WOU and has gone on to be a very successful multi-genre vocal performer. A pleasure to now be colleagues ! Hope you can make it. Best, KH
Hi WOU Friends and Beyond. I have the unbelievable gift of being in a chamber music ensemble with my daughter Tori McCoy and son-in-law Tim McCoy and our phenomenal pianist Deb Huddleston. We are performing a concert of" knock out" trios from opera, operetta and our own favorite opera arias on Sunday, January 26th at 3 pm at the Unitarian Church in Salem. The concert is sponsored by the Camerata Chamber Music Series and tickets are free! Come help us celebrate our love of great music. *Music Majors - Concert Attendance. Get it done early!*
Ethnomusicology I is being offered winter term. Are any of you planning to take it this year or next? It may become an every other year option. If you are blocked out because of the writing issue, I will override that, but you need to send me an email if you want to be in the class. Thanks!
