Tift area music educators featured in Nov. 7 concert

TIFTON — The 2023 First Tuesday Concert Series at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College continues Nov. 7 with a performance by current and retired music educators from all over south Georgia.

“From bagpipes to bass drum, from soprano to baritone, the evening will feature songs from Broadway, Disney and classic band repertoire, as well as new selections written by south Georgia band directors that have just been released for publication,” Sheri Wyles, adjunct woodwind professor and concert coordinator at ABAC, said in a news release.

Musicians will perform musical styles, originating both from their professional repertoire as well as some personal favorites. The evening performances will consist of soloists and small ensembles and will end with a large group performance.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. in ABAC’s Howard Auditorium. All First Tuesday concerts are free and open to the public with no ticket required.

The First Tuesday performance lineup will continue in 2024 with an organ recital by Andrew Atkinson on Feb. 6., the ABAC Community Choir on March 5, and The Songs of Broadway on April 2. For more information on the First Tuesday series, visit www.artsatabac.com/first-tuesdays.
