| Audience
members will be in for a real scream when the Cumberland Quintet
presents its “Halloween Extravaganza” concert at 8 p.m.,
Tuesday, Oct. 26, in Wattenbarger Auditorium.
“We try to hold a Halloween-themed concert
every four years, and this show will be very different from the
usual Cumberland Quintet concerts,” says William Woodworth,
who directs and plays oboe for the group.
Among the pieces to be performed are “Tocatta
in D Minor” by Bach, “Cantina Band” from Star
Wars, “Funeral March of the Marionettes” and the
theme from "The Addams Family."
In addition to spooky music to mark the seasonal
festivity, other features of the show will include a demonstration
by Chemistry Professor Dale Ensor’s alter ego, Dr. Magic,
and a blood-curdling scream contest.
A showing of the short film “Brass Witch
Factor,” made by members of the quintet, will add to the mystery
created by the performance, and audience members are encouraged
to dress in costume.
The concert is free and open to the public.
