Student from Bonner Springs to be a soloist at concert

A student from Bonner Springs, Ashley Muldoon, is one of the soloists at an upcoming University of Saint Mary Christmas concert.

The public is invited to the annual Christmas Vespers Concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, in the Annunciation Chapel on the Saint Mary Leavenworth campus, 4100 S. 4th St. There is no charge to attend. Seating is limited, so early arrival is suggested.

The Vespers Concert features the University Concert Chorale under the direction of William Krusemark, chair of the university’s fine arts department, and the Bells of Saint Mary Handbell Choir, under the direction of Freda Proctor, director of the university’s instrumental musical studies.

The concert’s featured work is American composer Daniel Pinkham’s “Christmas Cantata,” accompanied by brass and organ. The program also will include traditional and modern arrangements of English carols for bells and choir with harp accompaniment.

Other USM student soloists will include Hayley Webb, junior, Basehor, Kan., and Wila Figueroa, sophomore, Lansing, Kan.
