Days of Music
By Bowdoin
In a roundup of the musical events on campus, we counted nine student concerts performed over seven days, not including individual recitals.
Jazz Night 1 started things off on Friday evening, Dec. 3, playing songs by Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, and Tyler, the Creator, among others.
Jazz Night 2, on Saturday, Dec. 4, featured songs by Bobby Hebb, Dorothy Ashby, and Ronnie Foster.
The Bowdoin Chamber Choir held a concert Saturday, as well. Directed by Jeffrey Christmas, the choir performed "Ave Maria" by R. Nathaniel Dett, "Cantique de Jean Racine" by Gabriel Fauré, and the traditional tune "Wayfaring Stranger" by an unknown artist.
The Concert Band, directed by John P. Morneau, put on a concert called Lest We Forget: Music Addressing Racism, on Sunday, Dec. 5, in Kanbar Auditorium's Studzinkski Recital Hall. Songs included "The Nine" by Randall Standridge, "Overcome" by Bill Locklear, and "To set the darkness echoing," by Dana Wilson ’68.
