Friday night, the LSU School of Music will present the 13th annual Concert Spectacular at the First Baptist Church of Baton Rouge.The School of Music is working with EMCO Technologies to showcase the musical talents of students and faculty from LSU and create support for graduate scholarships.The hour-long concert will be performed “without pause, without applause,” in a unique format in which as one unit finishes, another begins in a different location.”Variety, change of pace, kaleidoscopic styles and textures — these are the hallmarks of Concert Spectacular,” Michael Bellinger, assistant to the dean and director of operations for the School of Music, said in a press release.The concert will feature performances by the LSU Symphony, Percussion ensemble, Schola Cantorum, Faculty Jazz Trio, Ebony Renaissance Chorale, Bassoon Ensemble and the LSU Opera. There will also be duet performances by College of Music faculty members and a performance by the Music Theatre class.The performance starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for seniors and $10 for children and can be purchase online at www.music.lsu.edu.A portion of the ticket sales will go into a fund for scholarships to the LSU School of Music to bring in new talent to study in Louisiana.
