The University and Old Main Singers combine the vocal talents of more than 40 students. Emeritus professor of music Dr. Tony Lenti and associate professor of music Dr. Robert Kelley, both pianists, will also be featured in the performance along with Amy Blackwood, Lander's lecturer of music and staff accompanist.
