Lee Egbert, Director of Choral Activities at Colorado State University reports that "Alltop is exceedingly musical and practical with both chorus and orchestra, with a marvelous and impressive choral conducting (and teaching) technique with my singers. As a preparing conductor, I was delighted to see that Maestro Steven Alltop conducted with the same fire and nuance that he rehearsed."
Early arrivals may attend a pre-concert organ recital by Mr. Alltop at 3:15 p.m. A Meet the Artists reception at Rodman, hosted by Ripon College President and Mrs. David Joyce, will follow the concert.
The Willcocks Vocal Fund sponsors this concert with major support from Sylvia and Bill Richards. Support for this concert is also provided in part by the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the state of Wisconsin. Additional promotional support is provided by Wisconsin Public Radio. |
