Come see the Elon Music Ambassadors in concert on Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in McCrary Theatre
The Elon Music Ambassadors’ upcoming concert has been moved from Nov. 21 to Wednesday, Nov. 20.
This fall concert, “Wanderlust,” features a select group of talented student instrumentalists and vocalists showcasing a wide variety of genres, from jazz to pop.
Virginia Novine-Whittaker, lecturer in music and director of the concert, explained that the performance had to be rescheduled due to two students studying abroad.
“It is fitting that the theme of the concert is Wanderlust, and we are moving our concert date to allow students to travel,” said Novine-Whittaker. “Wanderlust is the lust to wander or a desire to travel. When you have wanderlust, you have that ache in your heart that needs to escape to new and beautiful places.”
Whittaker says the concert will consist of many different genres of music, including jazz, pop, Latin, country and even international music.
“Many of our students have studied abroad, and these experiences bring a special meaning to some of the songs in our concert,” she said.
If the songs display colorful depictions of one’s love for traveling, they are sure to be heard in this performance.
“There is truly something for everyone at this concert,” said Novine-Whittaker.
The Music Ambassadors will perform “Vienna” by Billy Joel which holds special meaning for one member of the ensemble, Ella Nagel, who performed with an opera company in Vienna this past summer. The song depicts the importance of slowing down and admiring the view every now and then, something the Music Ambassadors encourage everyone to do as they come enjoy the beautiful music.
