Mozart concert to commemorate Samford centennial

Samford’s School of the Arts is celebrating its 100th year with a benefit concert.

The Centennial Celebration Benefit Concert and School of the Arts Birthday Party is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the university’s Wright Center. The evening, which is also being presented by the Legacy League, will feature Mozart’s Requiem and portions of Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 performed by Samford Combined Choirs and University Orchestra. The celebration will continue with birthday cake at the end of the concert. 

 “The legacy of Samford music has touched countless lives over the past century,” said Dean and Professor Joseph Hopkins. “This program has had a profound impact on music education, the church and performance stages with alumni serving as teachers, ministers, performers and leaders in the music industry across the United States and around the world.” 

Tickets are $25 for adults and $6 for students and can be purchased at tickets.samford.edu or by calling the Harrison Theater Box Office at 726-2853.  

The cost of the ticket is tax-deductible and will help endow a new scholarship for deserving students with significant financial need who are pursuing a degree in the arts through the work of the Legacy League.
