The University of West Florida’s Dr. Grier Williams School of Music will present the UWF Singers in their “Collaborations Concert.” The performance will be held on Thursday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rolfs Music Hall at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the UWF Pensacola campus.


The UWF Singers, Concert Choir, and Tate High School Vocal Ensemble present their annual “Collaborations Concert.” This tradition began eight years ago as a way to showcase material being prepared by multiple choirs. The Tate High School Vocal Ensemble will present works from their upcoming competition season, including works by Handel, Mozart and The Beatles. UWF choirs will perform Les Chansons des Roses, a greatest-hit song-cycle from American composer Morten Lauridsen. Set to French poems of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, the five-song cycle for a cappella mixed chorus is a unified study in elegance, as are its poems and the roses they describe.

A National Medal of Arts recipient (2007), Lauridsen was composer-in-residence of the Los Angeles Master Chorale (1994–2001) and has been a professor of composition at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music for more than 40 years. In 2006, Lauridsen was named an 'American Choral Master' by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2007, he received the National Medal of Arts from the President in a White House ceremony, "for his composition of radiant choral works combining musical beauty, power and spiritual depth that have thrilled audiences worldwide."

Additional works in the performance will span from medieval works to contemporary pieces.


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.

The University of West Florida Dr. Grier Williams School of Music will present the Symphonic Band in concert on Tuesday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held in the Mainstage Theatre at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts on the Pensacola campus.

Under the direction of Dr. Jeff Osarczuk, this program will include works by Joseph Willcox Jenkins, David Maslanka, John Mackey, Chen Yi, and Gustav Holst.

A featured pieces in the program will be “First Suite in Eb” by Gustav Holst (ed. Colin Matthews). This piece is considered one of the masterworks and cornerstones of the band literature. Although completed in 1909, the suite didn't receive its official premiere until 11 years later on June 23rd, 1920, by an ensemble of 165 musicians at the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall. However, the work was originally conceived to be performed by ensembles significantly smaller than the one at Kneller Hall. During this time period there was no standardized instrumentation among the hundreds of British military bands of the day, and as a result no significant literature had been previously written for the band medium; most British bands up to then performed arrangements of popular orchestral pieces. In order to ensure the suite would be accessible to as many bands as possible, Holst ingeniously scored the work so that it could be played by a minimum of 19 musicians, with 16 additional parts that could be added or removed without compromising the integrity of the work.


The Symphonic Band is committed to performing the finest wind band repertoire and is open to all UWF students with prior experience on an instrument. Students in the Symphonic Band are enrolled in numerous majors and minors across the UWF campus.

This event is free and open to the public and no tickets are required. For more information, visit uwf.edu/cfpa or call the CFPA box office at 850.857.6285.

The University of West Florida Department of Theatre presents the musical “Nine”. Performances will be held February 17-19 with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. All performances will take place in the Mainstage Theatre of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola Campus.

“Nine” (with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and script by Arthur Kopit) is based on the Federico Fellini’s 1963 film 81/2. It tells the story of film director Guido Contini, who dreading his imminent 40th birthday and facing a midlife crisis, must navigate his way through a creative block and a web of romantic difficulties.  Guido’s wife Luisa, has threatened to divorce him unless he gives more attention to their marriage, which is difficult to do when his saucy mistress, Carla, keeps showing up at the most inconvenient times!  In an attempt to find peace and inspiration, Guido, takes his wife on a trip to Venice.  As Guido struggles to find his creative muse, he starts to lose track of what is fantasy and what is reality! It doesn’t help that Carla arrives in Rome to provide naughty distractions.  Guido must come to terms with all the women in his life, both past and present. As he tries to create a new masterpiece, Guido must face the ultimate decision of life and death.

Director, Sara Schoch, leads the team of UWF students in this production. She is an assistant professor teaching Musical Theater. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from the State University of New York at Fredonia, and a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from Brandeis University. 

Schoch is an award-winning actress who combines her 15 years of musical theater experience with her passion for teaching students the techniques of the profession.
