Three vocal instructors will perform for the community, and their students, in the Ragozzino Performance Hall on Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m.

The show will feature vocal instructors Gene Chin, Alison Slade and Siri Vik, with several instrumental accompanists.

“We have three fabulous singers together,” said instructor Barbara Myrick, who will accompany some of the pieces on piano during the concert.

Myrick said that having students in the audience could add to their learning experience as they can see their instructors “using their voice in a dynamic way.”

Slade said she enjoys performing and still gets nervous prior to a concert, something that relates to students.

“It puts us on the same level on some aspects,” Slade said. “It’s nice to be able to deliver a performance to the students you’re trying to inspire in class everyday.”

Vik said that the show is called “Aspects of Love,” a title that comes from a song in the show as well as its proximity to Valentine’s Day.

“We decided to center it around love, which is easy to do,” she said.

The concert will incorporate selections from a variety of musical styles, including opera, showtunes and songs by The Beatles.

“It keeps the program open and accessible to anybody,” Vik said.

Slade said, “It’s very diverse, which makes it fun for the audience and fun for us.”

Admission is $8 for students, staff and seniors, and $10 for the public. Proceeds will benefit scholarships for the music department.
