Music meet costume design
If vocal recitals are not what you are looking for and you are more interested in the combination of music with the theatrical, St. Norbert College brings audiences a night of costume design and music. This faculty collaboration brings the costume designs of professor April Beiswenger to the stage accompanied by professors Yi-lan Niu on vocals, Kortney James on the flute and Elaine Moss on the piano.
The song texts are weaved into the design of the costumes, enhancing the interpretation of the music. This event is free and open to the public this Saturday, February 11th at 7:30pm in Walter Theatre, Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts. For more information, contact Holly Huntley at 920-403-3112 or holly.huntley@snc.edu.
