Griffin Choral Arts has received a $1,500 grant from the Barnesville-Lamar Community Foundation. These funds will be used to support the Encore! Spring Concert as part of GCA’s Standing Ovation Tenth Anniversary Season.

This concluding Spring Concert will be May 4 at Gordon College’s Fine Arts Auditorium. Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana will be accompanied by two pianos and percussion ensemble. Seth Davis, GCA’s founding accompanist, is scheduled as a special guest. GCA’s Chamber Choir will perform works by Brahms.

“This grant empowers us to present this large-scale work for voices, piano, and percussion ensemble in Barnesville, a town that represents an important part of our singing membership and our audience,” said Dr. Stephen Mulder, artistic director of Griffin Choral Arts.
