Under the direction of William Ciabattari, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the music department at Lycoming College, the LCCO will perform a concert of beloved arias and overtures from operas including works from “Carmen,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Madama Butterfly,” and more! The LCCO will be joined on stage by the Lycoming College Choirs, under the direction of Kent Weaver, visiting instructor of music at Lycoming, as well as by area soloists Sarah Decker, Sara Scott, Emily Wertz, Nathan Fulkerson, and Todd Griffith.
