This year’s format will feature the first prism concert at Liberty. A prism concert is an interactive concert in which the different participating ensembles perform in different areas of the auditorium allowing the audience to encounter each group’s different moods throughout the evening. The music is continuous and the performers are set up in different positions throughout the auditorium. The only time there is applause is at the very end of the concert.
“In an effort to make our concerts more audience friendly, we have adopted the prism format,” says LCS Director of Music Gary Siegel. The concert will begin promptly at 7 PM and will last approximately one hour. The program will feature performances by the High School Chorus’, Bands, Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble as well the Middle School Jazz Ensemble featuring popular music both old and new. .
Tim Hamblin will conduct the Choruses, Dan McConnell will direct the HS Bands and Jazz Ensemble, Scott Glasser will lead the orchestra and chamber groups and the Middle School Jazz Ensemble will be under the direction of Gary Siegel. Donation is $4.00 for adults, $3.00 for students and senior citizens and a family of four or more is $15. Proceeds go to benefit the LCS Music Department Scholarship Funds. The snow date is scheduled for March 6th. For more information call Gary Siegel, LCS Director of Music at 292-5400 x5117.
