Ring Road Singers at FFUMC

Fredonia First United Methodist Church invites the community to a concert by the Ring Road Singers from SUNY Fredonia on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 3 p.m.

The Ring Road Singers are a student-led group of 30 music and non-music majors who are accepted by audition into the steadily growing organization. They will present a concert of widely varied compositions. The music director is student Vaughn Lachenauer.

Their concert for the HHP series last year, as a relatively new organization, was incredible. The combination of musicianship and sheer joy in singing made them a favorite addition to the HHP event line-up, and organizers hope that they will continue to be return yearly.

This event is sponsored by the Hannah Hasbrouck Petersen Concert Series, and will be free. Donations are always gratefully accepted. The church is located at 25 Church St. in Fredonia.
