I would be happy to visit your classroom to give a presentation on a range of topics. In the past, I have demonstrated how to utilize the UGetConnected software so students can begin using the tool early. I have also introduced the concept of Service Learning (and how that’s different from volunteering). I am able to share about Service Saturdays and other opportunities to engage with the local community. Past presentations have lasted from 15–60 minutes as I can adjust for what the instructor and students need. Let me know as soon as possible if I am able to join your class and which days/times would work best for you.
Here are more details on possible topics:
The outstanding German a cappella quintet Calmus will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23 in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.
Hailing from Leipzig, the city in Germany closely associated with Bach and Mendelssohn, Calmus performs a diverse repertoire of music and has captivated both audiences and critics with its charming stage presence, flawless technique, and entertaining presentation.
Calmus has won numerous international prizes and competitions and the group has toured throughout Europe and North America. The musicians are tireless in their quest to discover new repertoire. They are naturally at home in the vocal music of the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Romantic, but they also revel in singing modern pop, folk, jazz, and golden oldies from the 1920s.
Calmus is “nothing short of remarkable…they, quite simply, bring whatever they sing to glorious life,” wrote the Deseret Morning News.
