“We will play music ranging from the ‘Drinking Song’ from La Traviata, to a beautiful setting of Amazing Grace,” said music director Dr. Richard Brunson. He tries to expand on the love theme around the holiday to give the audience a variety.

The concert will also pay its respects to a departed member. “Probably the most important music we will play for our concert will be in tribute to Bob Biederwolf, long-time member and respected music educator in Marshfield, who passed away on January 3,” he said.

The concert will be held at the Helen Connor Laird Theater on February 9 at 7:30 p.m. Order tickets for $7 online or by calling the Campus Box Office at call 715-389-6534. The office has limited hours but a detailed message will be attended to.
