This fall, the University Community Chorus (with support from the Fred Fox School of Music) will be hosting a Virtual Webinar Series featuring live, interactive, choral lectures, sing-alongs, and events open to both chorus members and the general public. These free, bi-monthly events will be accessible live via Zoom or archived on the UCC Facebook page.

Topics will include: - Decolonization and Hawaiian Choral Music - An introduction to Shape-Note Singing - A pre-election event featuring a Q&A session with composer Andrea Ramsey on her newly completed Suffrage Cantata, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment - Multiple sing-along events, including an evening featuring music from the Justice Choir Movement, a Gospel Choir Night, and the series finale - a national Messiah sing-along co-hosted by Dr. David Rayl from Michigan State University! This exciting holiday event will include a pre-concert lecture, performances by guest soloists, and a sing-along concluding with Handel’s “Hallelujah” Chorus.

Friday is the last day to vote for Amplified by going to tinyurl.com/VoteForAmplified and clicking on "Vote Here". Once you have entered your name and email, you can vote for your favorite teams or skip to round 8/8 to vote for Amplified. The voting period ends this Friday 10/23 at 11:59 PM.

Amplified is a student-led, mixed voice A Cappella ensemble at the University of Arizona, founded in 2012. Singing their own arrangements, Amplified always aims to focus on storytelling: reaching beyond the meaning of the songs on their own, in order to create a more impactful experience. They are an active and close-knit community of 18 members, performing at campus events and competing in local, statewide, and national competitions. In the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, Amplified has received notable rankings at competitions over the last 2 years, earning themselves the Champion title of the 2020 Southwest Quarterfinal, as well as receiving special awards including Outstanding Arrangement for the entire set. In addition, Amplified has released two EPs over the last year, which can be found and played on all music-streaming platforms. Visit amplifiedacappella.com for more information.

Amplified is currently representing UArizona in a National Collegiate A Cappella video competition, Upstaged Aid, in which groups have the chance to win $10,000, which will be matched and donated to their chosen social justice charity. Amplified has made it to the second round of the bracket-style competition, and needs your help to make it to the top 8! The group's chosen charity is the NAACP's Environmental and Climate Justice Program. They are competing with their video Saturn (arr. Emily Drum and Jordan Murillo), which premiered at the 2020 U Arizona Virtual graduation ceremony. ... See MoreSee Less
