Renew Your Choral Friendships at Homecoming
Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018
Please note if you are performing with the A Cappella Choir, you will not need a ticket to
Saturday night’s concert. However, any guests coming with you to the event will have to
have a ticket to gain entrance into Douwstra! Click the button at the bottom of this page
to reserve a ticket for your guests.
Join the A Cappella Choir in song as we celebrate the grand opening of the revitalized and renovated Douwstra Auditorium! The arts are alive and thriving at Central College and this new concert hall promises a bright future. Distinguished music alumni, Jared McCarty ’09 and Liza Calisesi Maidens ’10, will provide musical inspiration, as will Professor Mark Babcock ’91, director of choral activities, who will celebrate 20 years at Central College this fall.
The choir will perform music that has been central to our choral tradition throughout the past 86 years.
