Clark College Treble Ensemble & Chorale to Present Spring Concert

Clark College

VANCOUVER, WA — The Clark College Treble Ensemble & College Chorale under the direction of Dr. Jacob Funk, present their Spring Concert on Thursday, June 13, 2024, 7:30 pm at First United Methodist Church, 401 E 33rd St, Vancouver, WA.  The admission is free and open to the public. Donations to the Clark College Choral Fund accepted at the door. 

The Treble Ensemble will start the concert with a set list largely comprised of exciting folk song arrangements. The songs are filled with percussion, soloists, fireflies, and joy! Featured languages are Japanese, French, Acadian inspired nonsense syllables, and English.

Next on the program is The Chorale. You will experience lightning, the destruction of brookside flora, Shakespearean drama, and the persistence of music through the mud and scum of things. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, we have that too! Songs of togetherness and the limitless possibility of the self.

This is the final performance of the year for these two groups, and each group is sounding fantastic! Please come out and join these musicians for a wonderful night of beauty.
