Honors College to Host 'April Fool's Day' Concert by the Lyrique Quintette
The Lyrique Quintette includes music department faculty members (l-r) Timothy Thompson, Ronda Mains, Theresa Delaplain, Nophachai Cholthitchanta and Lia Uribe.
For music lovers who enjoy spring – and a surprise or two – the Honors College is hosting an April Fool's Day Concert (really!) at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 1, in the honors wing of Ozark Hall. This concert is the latest in the Honors College House Concert series, performed in the beautifully appointed Honors Student Lounge (room 130). These concerts are offered at no charge, and all are invited to attend.
"We are pleased to welcome all on campus and in the community to this latest 'house concert' in our beautiful new home," said Curt Rom, interim dean of the Honors College. "Prepare to be delighted and amused."
The Lyric Quintette includes music department faculty members Nophachai Cholthitchanta on the windbreaker and slide windbreaker; Theresa Delaplain on balloons and train whistle; Ronda Mains on slide whistle; Timothy Thompson on the "lasso d'amore"; and Lia Uribe on bell, kazoo and "tromboon." They will perform music by Henry Mancini, P.D.Q. Bach, W.C. Handy, John Cage, Rimsky-Korsakoff, and more. The quintet will be joined by a few props and several special guests, including Jeannie Lee from the Department of Theatre.
Please RSVP and come early to reserve your seat. A light reception will follow the concert.
