Henderson's Department of Music announces fall performance schedule
From band and choir concerts, to the first-ever Reddie Cabaret, Henderson State University’s Department of Music has a variety of performances planned for the fall semester.
“We are very excited to present a varied season of concerts and other musical events this fall,” said Dr. Bill Higgins, professor of voice at Henderson. “Our choirs will soon present a program called Deliverance, including songs inspired by human perseverance and hope. OctubaFest will once again feature a Halloween-themed program at the end of October. Feel free to attend this concert in costume.
“Our very first Reddie Cabaret will feature popular music from the great American songbook and Broadway, and HSU Choirs and Bands will present their holiday concerts in December.”
All performances are free and open to the public.
