Some say that life is a song that is meant to be sung. That’s just what over 150 high school and middle school students intend to do when they gather for Dare County’s All-County Chorus Festival held at First Flight High School on February 19, 2025.
An evening concert at 6pm will highlight students from Manteo and First Flight school chorus programs in combined performances. Guest conductor Dr. Jami Rhodes from ECU will work with high school students for the event; Kyle Cook will direct the middle school students.
Dr. Rhodes holds the Doctor of Musical Arts in vocal performance and pedagogy from Louisiana State University, a Master of Music in vocal performance from the University of South Carolina, and a Bachelor of Music in music education from East Carolina University where she is currently Associate Professor of Voice at East Carolina University. Rhodes teaches applied voice, serves as coordinator of vocal pedagogy, and conducts ECU’s treble ensemble, the ECU Concert Choir. She is the 2018 ECU recipient of the NC Board of Governors award for Excellence in Teaching.
Selections for the All-County include a wide range of styles encompassing everything from Bernstein to African Folk Songs and traditional gospel styles that celebrate the diversity and beauty of choral singing. The concert is free and open to the public.
