The community is invited to join the Lander University Chamber Orchestra for their Fall 2024 concert featuring music inspired by the Christmas season. The concert will take place Tuesday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m. in the Abney Cultural Center Auditorium on Lander’s campus. Selections will include works by Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Leroy Anderson and John Rutter.

The Chamber Orchestra is under the direction of Amy Blackwood, lecturer of music and collaborative pianist in Lander’s Department of Music. Blackwood teaches music appreciation, serves as the string area coordinator, and works with singers, instrumentalists and the two choral ensembles - the University Singers and Old Main Singers. She earned a Master of Music in Accompanying and Chamber Music from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Blackwood has spent summers at Interlochen, performed at Carnegie Hall with the National Wind Ensemble, and actively collaborates with members of symphonies in Greenville, Augusta and Charlotte.
