LINCOLN

Music fans will have two great opportunities to hear live performances at Lincoln College Thursday through Sunday, Dec. 7-10.

The performances kick off Thursday and Friday with the College’s Jazz Band Review, Next Stop Harlem. That will be followed by the Lincoln College Choirs presentation of Made in America: Celebrating Diversity through American Genres, Artists, and Composers, on Saturday and Sunday.

The Jazz review is a time-traveling excursion that will transport the audience back to the heyday of jazz in Harlem during the 1920s, ‘30s and 40s. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. both Thursday and Friday night, on the main stage at the Johnston Center for Performing Arts on the Lincoln College Campus. Admission is $5, with a reduced price of $1 for student and seniors.

 

On Saturday, Dec. 9, the Lincoln College Choirs will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. The Choirs will repeat their performance again on Sunday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m.

Calia Cole, of Springfield, is one of the featured performers for the Lincoln College choir concert.

“We are inviting everyone to join the Lincoln College Choirs for an evening or an afternoon of music celebrating diversity. With Bruce Springsteen, Ben E. King, Eric Whitacre, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and everything in between on the program, there is truly something for everyone!” said Laurie Lewis-Fritz, lead faculty for vocal performance at Lincoln College. “Featured groups include the Lincoln College Chorale, the Chamber Choir, TrebLynx (debut performance) and Four Score (debut performance), in addition to a variety of soloists. We hope to see you there!”

General Admission for Made in America is also $5 with special $1 pricing for students and seniors. Interested persons call the Johnston Center Box Office at 217-735-7280 to reserve seats. All proceeds from the choir performances will benefit the Chamber Choir performance trip in April to New York City.
