The concert, being held on Dec. 12 begins with the college choir’s rendition of “Christmas Oratorical”, a compilation of 10 songs related to the season.
“Watching your friend’s solos at Ventura College, what could honestly be better than supporting your friends?” says Dr. E. Burns Taft, musical director at Ventura College.
Pepperdine Professor Louise Lofquist playing in “First Piano Concerto” a musical piece done by world famous Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich. The piano solo also features a trumpet solo, blending the sounds of trumpet and piano with string accompaniment.
“Our concert is going to have much more variety than any that could be going on that night,” said Burns Taft. “One big orchestra with one theme. Also a very recognizable piece with the choir.”
The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets may only be purchased at the door the evening of the concert. Admission runs $10 for general admission and $5 for students, staff and seniors.
