Percy Aldridge Grainger Celebration

CCU: Percy Aldridge Grainger Celebration


This collaborative concert showcasing the CCU choirs, CCU Symphonic Band and Carolina Master Chorale celebrates the choral and band music of the world-renowned Australian composer Percy Aldridge Grainger. Terri Sinclair, CCU associate professor of music and director of choral activities; Richard Johnson, CCU professor of music; and Tim Koch, CCU Department of Music faculty member, will co-direct the performance. In addition to work as a solo pianist, Grainger is remembered for his arrangements of British folk tunes transcribed for various combinations of voices, ensembles and instruments. Performances involving a vocal and instrumental synthesis of Grainger’s work are rare, making this a unique celebration.

Presented by: Department of Music
