The Music Department at Iowa Central Community College will present a free concert called “Sacred and beyond” tonight at 7 p.m.

“During difficult times like the one we live in now, music and art will always find a way to bring joy and encouragement. The power of song is an incredible tool ”, said Will Lopes, director of vocal music at Iowa Central Community College.

This concert will kick off the fall season of the Iowa Central Music Department. The performance will present a collection of inspiring and religious pieces.

“They will perform traditional hymn songs and many will recognize interwoven melodies among all the instrumentation”, Lopes said. “These students are only performing for the second time together after kicking off the first week of school by welcoming Honor Flight veterans back home.”

The concert will take place at the First United Methodist Church, 127 N. 10th St.

“I am looking for unique venues for students to have the opportunity to perform, and one of our hometown churches, First United Methodist Church, has graciously offered its beautiful sanctuary as a concert venue this year,” Lopes said.

Lopes said he hopes this performance will inspire and unify those who attend.

“The music program has a dynamic group of students who will collaborate to share uplifting music,” he said.

The Concert Band will offer instrumental music under the direction of Paul Bloomquist. He will play an introduction to the concert and music throughout the performance.

Singers will include the Triton Singers, Vocal Jazz, Encore Singers and Pop Voices. The concert will also be an opportunity to present some of the solo music and theater students. “The singers will be highlighted by a talented group of local musicians,” said Lopes.

The concert finale will bring together all the groups to perform the anthem “How can I stop myself from singing? “
