The Trey Clegg Chamber Singers
2023 marks the 25th 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 5, with a performance by Alan Morrison, Organist, and Kevin Lyons, Trumpeter.
Recognized as one of America’s premier organists, Alan Morrison holds the Haas Charitable Trust Chair in Organ Studies at the Curtis Institute of Music, serves as College Organist at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA, and was most recently appointed Organist-in-Residence at Spivey Hall near Atlanta where he holds the McGehee Family Organist Residency.
Trumpeter Kevin Lyons attended the Cleaveland Institute of Music where he studied with Michael Sachs and James Darling and earned a bachelor’s degree in music performance. After two years on the road playing with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Mr. Lyons returned to the U.S. and won positions of Associate Principal Trumpet with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as well as Principal Trumpet of the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra.
The concert is jointly sponsored by the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival and First Presbyterian Church of Highlands.
Then on Wednesday, July 19, The Trey Clegg Chamber Singers will be featured. 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.
