Description:
Singer and recording artist Elise Witt will lead a free workshop titled "An Impromptu Glorious Chorus" on Sunday, September 15th in the Torgersen Museum located on the campus of Virginia Tech.

The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech invites everyone who loves to sing, regardless of experience or skill level, to a series of community-based singing events in preparation for a special celebratory performance in the center’s new facility when it opens this fall.

The center is sponsoring a residency with visiting artist Elise Witt, a singer, composer, recording artist, educator, and community activist from Atlanta, Georgia, who will bring her group singing workshops, called “An Impromptu Glorious Chorus,” to Blacksburg in September. Witt leads these sessions with a friendly and open teaching style that draws from her love of diverse melodies and rhythms.

One goal of the workshops, which are designed for voices of all abilities, styles, and experience, is to prepare participants for a group performance celebrating the opening of the Center for the Arts during the center’s Community Open House on Sunday, Nov. 3, from noon to 2:30 p.m. The singing sessions are also part of an ongoing series of workshop and residency activities the center is sponsoring to foster the growth of community singing in the region.

The program is free and intended for ages 12 and older. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required. To register, call 540-231-0843 or email Sara Bailey.

Witt’s residency activities are presented in partnership with Virginia Tech’s School of Performing Arts and Cinema and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology, under the leadership of project curator Ann Kilkelly, professor of theatre and women’s studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.

The Torgersen Museum is located at 1100 Torgersen Hall at 620 Drillfield Drive on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.
