Auburn Singers in Tallassee next week

By Leigh Anne Butler

The McCraney-Cottle Arts Council will host the Auburn University Singers and Concert Choir on Tuesday, April 2 at 7 p.m. at the Tallassee High School Fine Arts Center.

The Auburn University Singers are a highly-select show choir group that consists of 36 vocalists plus 12 instrumentalists while the Concert Choir is comprised of Auburn University’s women’s and men’s chorus groups.

“For many years we had the singers come every year,” Jerry Cunningham, director of The McCraney-Cottle Arts Council stated. “This will be the first time the singers have ever been in an auditorium (in Tallassee) because our other auditorium stage was so small that we use to have to do the concert in the gym.”

In years past, when both groups performed, they had to use the Southside Middle School gymnasium. With the completion of the new Tallassee High School and Performance Arts Center, the two choirs can utilize the new, state-of-the-art auditorium facility.

“This will be their first time in a venue like this in Tallassee,” Cunningham continued. “It will be so much more enjoyable, so much more comfortable and it will be an exciting show.”

The performance will be about 75 minutes and tickets are $10 per person. For more information, contact Jerry Cunningham at 334-312-2679.
