MCCC Chorus, Jazz Band to Present Free Concerts Next Week

Spring is a time of wonder and baby chicks - make that Stevie Wonder and Chick Corea!

Music lovers will have both traditional and contemporary options with two free upcoming concerts by Mercer County Community College (MCCC) chorus and jazz students.

The MCCC Chorus will present its spring concert on Tuesday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m., with the MCCC Jazz Band performing on Wednesday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. Both performances will take place in Kelsey Theatre on Mercer's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

The MCCC Chorus, directed by Timothy Smith, will present a program entitled "In These Delightful, Pleasant Groves," which includes a variety of works by composers Gabriel Faure, Henry Purcell, Thomas Weelkes, and more.

Wednesday's performance by the MCCC Jazz Band, directed by new Music Department coordinator Scott Hornick, is a varied and exciting program for this year's Spring Concert. The performance includes selections featuring the works of Stevie Wonder, Rodgers and Hart, Chick Corea, Booker T and the MGs, among others.
