The March 23 Choral concert of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 is currently featured on Choralnet.

The heavy schedule of recitals and performances in the Hodgson School continues today with three recitals:

Kristen Blanton, voice, at 5 p.m. in Edge Recital Hall, on the third floor of the HHSOM. By the way, Blanton a DMA candidate, was extraordinary as Miss Todd in Menotti's opera The Old Maid and the Thief back in February, so this recital is definitely one not to miss.

Then we have Eric Davis, horn, in Ramsey Concert Hall at 6 p.m.

And Rebecca Bonas, piano, back in Edge Hall at 8 p.m.

Join us tonight at 8 p.m. in Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall for a special Holy Week Concert performance by the UGA Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mark Cedel.

This evening's program:

Mendelssohn - Symphony No. 5, "Reformation"

Haydn - Symphony No. 45 in F-sharp minor

Strauss - Till Eulenspiegel

Admission to the concert is free and the public is invited to attend.

Just passing along a bit of news from the new production of "La Traviata" at the Metropolitan.
