Bracken Library Hosts Several Music Programs in April

During April, the Ball State University community was graced with three outstanding musical performances by student groups.

Under the artistic direction of Lou Ann Young, the Ball State Dance Theatre (BSDT) rose from humble beginnings 20 years ago to become a premiere professional dance training troupe. On April 10, the celebration of these 20 years was provided through a sneak preview of the Department of Theatre and Dance's 20th Anniversary Ball State Dance Theatre Concert.

The BSDT Concert Preview highlighted and featured the choreography of some of the best works from current students and faculty including Kory Browder, Gregory Lund, Sarah Mangelsdorf, Stacy Pottinger, Audra Sokol, Michael Worcel and Artistic Director Lou Ann Young.

On April 17, the combined talents of the music fraternal organizations at the School of Music, ΣΑΙ and ΦΜΑ Sinfonia performed their annual Festival of American Music recital to a crowd of more than 60 people.

The Ball State University Saxophone Quartets #2 and #3 performed on April 25.
