"Singing in the Spring" Concert

Presented by Kellogg Community College at First Presbyterian Church

“Singing in the Spring” will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 21, at First Presbyterian Church, 111 Capital Ave. NE in Battle Creek. The event is free and open to the public, though a freewill offering will be collected to support future music programming and initiatives at the College, including a planned concert tour of the Baltics in June 2025 featuring performances in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

KCC Music Area Coordinator and Vocal Arts Director Dr. Gerald Case-Blanchard said the concert repertoire represents music from many centuries, styles and genres as “a celebration of springtime” and the choral arts.

“Every concert is unique in its own right, but this one is special because I have selected music from our past,” Case-Blanchard said. “Many of these pieces were from previous concerts spanning our 68-year-long history and my 20 years of leading this program. What makes this concert even more special is that our choir along with invited alumni will present the world premiere of the College’s alma mater.”
