Written By: Angela Jenkins | Issue: July 2024
First Presbyterian Church of Highlands will stage a pair of free performances for the public this month in its Interlude Concert series.
2024 marks the 26th anniversary of the Interlude Concert series, sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Highlands.
The concerts provide a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – a time to relax and enjoy a variety of music. Visitors to Highlands are especially invited to attend these concerts.
Each concert is free, and dress is casual. All concerts are at 2:00 P.M. on Wednesdays and will take place at Highlands First Presbyterian Church.
The series kicks off on Wednesday, July 10, with a performance by tenor Timothy Miller entitled “Songs of Love,” featuring music of Schumann, Gershwin, and Puccini, with pianist William Ransom.
A native of Augusta, Georgia, tenor Timothy Miller is an active performer with both national and international credits. Operatic roles include First Armored Man in Mozart’s Die Zauberflote, Parpignol in Puccini’s La Boheme, Un Messaggero in Verdi’s Aida, and more. In addition to a busy performance schedule, Mr. Miller is an Assistant Professor of Voice and Music at Morehouse College and serves on the board of the Meridian Herald.
Pianist, Artistic Director, master teacher, editor and judge for international competitions, William Ransom appears around the world as a soloist with orchestras, recitalists, and chamber musicians. He is the Mary L. Emerson Professor of Piano at Emory University and founder and Artistic Director of the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta. He has served as Artistic Director of the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival for many years.
The concert is jointly sponsored by the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival and First Presbyterian Church of Highlands.
Then on Wednesday, July 24, the Trey Clegg Chamber Singers will be featured. Founded by Artistic Director Trey Clegg, the Chamber Singers is a group of 20 voices from among the 70 voices of the Trey Clegg Singers Inc., Atlanta’s premier multi-cultural choral ensemble. With a mission to inspire the passion of reconciliation, equity, and harmony, this selectively auditioned ensemble performs at the highest level of choral discipline and standards.
