Fellers Family Auditorium will be filled with the sounds of wonderful music and voices on September 14th at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Opera Singers Brooklyn Snow (soprano) and Matt Greenblatt (tenor) will be making their way to Alva to perform a recital at NWOSU. Single tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and $5 for students.
The concert series is an annual event that Northwestern Host. It is a three-concert series that is filled with a variety of music. Each year and each concert will feature a different artist. This weekend’s artist includes Opera Singers Brooklyn Snow and Matt Greenblatt. They will be traveling from Nashville, Tennessee. Snow and Greenblatt have traveled across the country performing in shows for fans of all ages. Their specialty is classical music.
“Our goal is to provide high quality music to the community,” said Eduardo Moreira, the Assistant Professor of Music and the Director of Piano Studies. “We will be showing different styles of music. … This weekend will be more classical music, but in October we will feature more country.”
With student tickets only being five dollars, Northwestern students will have a great opportunity to experience new music and learn about the Opera. Not only is this a great opportunity for NWOSU Students, but Moreira believes that this will be a great opportunity for the city of Alva.
“I think this helps more than just the University. I think this helps the community. We are in a rather isolated rural area in Oklahoma, so we don’t get a chance to have national celebrated artist in our small town. The concert series wants to bring artists who have national and international careers. That’s the main thing about the concert series. Despite our geographic location here, we are able to bring very high-quality groups.”
This program benefits not only the university, but also the entire community. Since Northwestern is in a rural part of Oklahoma, it’s rare for nationally recognized artists to come into town. The goal of the concert series is to feature performers with national and international reputations. Moreira harped on the fact that even with our location, we’re still able to bring in outstanding, high-quality groups.
“Each person goes to concerts for different reasons. I just hope that they will experience high quality music performed live and performed well. This concert series will be over a span of three dates. The first one is this Sunday September 14th at two o’clock, the next one is October 7th at seven o’clock and the last one will be in March.”
Sunday’s concert series will be great for everyone who is interested in music or wants an opportunity to experience new music.
So, on Sunday, September 14th bring your family and friends to Fellers Family Auditorium in Herod Hall to experience the fantastic sounds of Brooklyn Snow and Matt Greenblatt as they make their way from Nashville, Tennessee to Alva, Oklahoma.
