WABI reports on University Singers spring tour
WABI (Channel 5) spoke with members of the University of Maine’s University Singers, as well as the group’s conductor, Francis Vogt, ahead of their annual spring tour. The 66-member choral group will perform at high schools, churches and a community college in four states from March 7–12. “We really use it as way to get the word out about the music that happens here at the University of Maine and then specifically to what we do in the choral program,” said Vogt, UMaine’s director of choral activities. Molly Abrams, a UMaine student and member of the group, described the ensemble as a close-knit family. “It’s been a huge part of my college experience,” she said. “It’s how I made most of my friends when I got here.” The group also has a European tour, May 23–June 4, which will include stops in Ireland and England. The Enterprise advanced the group’s March 11 performance at Falmouth High School in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
