Oswego, N.Y. – A concert entitled “Songs of Wind and Wave” will be performed on Friday, April 28 at 7:30 pm at the Sheldon Hall Ballroom, 301 Washington Blvd, Oswego, N.Y. on the SUNY Oswego campus.
The SUNY Oswego Laker Chorale, State Singers, and the Oswego Festival Chorus along with special SUNY Oswego Student Association vocal groups “Octavia” and “Vocal Effect” will perform songs featuring wind and wave as the central themes.
The concert will be conducted by SUNY Oswego music professor Dr. Ben May.

The musical pieces will include works by György Orbán, John Baptiste Calkin, J.S. Bach, Moira Smiley, Clara Wieck Schumann, Edward Elgar, Paul Simon, and the Nathan Evans version of “The Wellerman” made popular on Tik Tok.
