The University of West Florida’s Dr. Grier Williams School of Music is proud to sponsor the UWF Singers as they present “Songs of Survival” on Thursday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rolfs Music Hall at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts on the Pensacola campus.
The concert will feature two contrasting works from 1943, at the height of WWII. The first being a collection of songs for "vocal orchestra" by Margaret Dryburgh and Norah Chambers who composed the songs while in captivity on the island of Sumatra during the Japanese invasion ("Songs of Survival"). Some of these compositions were written on scraps of paper or soup can labels. The comforting presence of music literally provided purpose of living during horrendous conditions.

The second large work featured is Benjamin Britten's "Rejoice in the Lamb." A known pacifist, Britten composed this work in 1943, around the same time Norah and Margaret were creating their chorus a hemisphere away. The peculiar poetry comes from Christopher Smart whose pen names were Mrs. Mary Midnight, and Ebenezer
Pentweazle.
Supportive works include pieces by Gregorio Allegri, W. A. Mozart, Darius Lim, Cynthia Erivo, John Lennon, Sam Pottle, Michael Barrett, Moses Hogan, and Leonard Bernstein.
This event is free and open to the public but tickets are required. For tickets or more information, visit uwf.edu/cfpa or call the CFPA box office at 850.857.6285.

Join Bike Pensacola for the most popular bike ride in town--the Slow Ride! Each month we explore the quiet, scenic streets of Pensacola's many historic neighborhoods for a fun and leisurely ride among friends.

For March our host is Mountain Film on Tour - Pensacola. Mountainfilm on Tour brings a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado. The films will follow the Ride at Museum Plaza. Come for the Ride and stay for the films. The Ride sponsors are The Radcliff-Schatzman Group at Morgan Stanley and Mountain Film on Tour - Pensacola.

Because most cyclists are “self taught,” each month we offer information about bicycle laws, safety tips, and addressing different bicycling skills that will help keep rides safe and enjoyable. The ride will be about one hour and ten minutes long, at a casual pace. Nobody will be “dropped” or left behind. Children must be at least 10 years of age to ride their own bicycle, and ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult. No pets are allowed on the Rides. Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet by law; ages 16 and up helmets are recommended but are not required by law. We will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.
