As a world-class performance facility on the campus of Bethel University, Benson Great Hall is recognized for its superior acoustics. Students in Cantorei, Sinfonia Orchestra, Symphonic Winds, Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Brass Quintet, and the string quartet Tetradoxin will perform music by Bach, Dvořák, Fauré, Gershwin, and others.
“Performing at Bethel is one of the most rewarding experiences ever,” senior band and choir member Sammi Weigel said in a press release. “It is a great opportunity for young musicians, like myself, to feel important and do something amazing. There is so much energy surrounding this concert and so much work put into it that everything just sounds amazing.”
