USC's Jazz Band prepares for prism concert by Amanda Silva The Gamecock In celebration of spring, USC’s School of Music will perform a prism concert on Monday, April 16. “The concert itself is really just for fun and for the love of music and spring,” said graduate student Eric Wilkinson, the Columbia Chamber Orchestra conductor. Aaron Copland’s original 13-instrument version of “Appalachian Spring” will be the centerpiece of the performance. “The main body of the concert, ‘Appalachian Spring,’ is a wonderful piece,” Wilkinson said. According to Wilkinson, the concert will be performed in such a way as to represent the idea of a prism reflecting a ray of light into many different colors and directions. “I think it’s a great idea, and to have it centered around the Copland piece is brilliant,” senior voice performance major Scott Guinn said. According to Wilkinson, the different directions represent the different places where the performers come from, and the spectrum spotlights the locations from around the hall where the musicians will be performing solo pieces. Wilkinson said Copland’s “celebration of a simpler past but optimistic and hopeful for the future” defined the essence of the prism concert. The 13 musicians are graduate and undeigraduate students and several musical arts doctoral candidates. “This is going to be completely new and more visual than I think we’re used to,” said second-year piano/oigan performance major Heather Janney. Janney said the best thing about the performance is that it isn’t a required program, so it won’t be a routine concert for the performers or the audience. “I like the idea of him (Wilkinson) doing ‘I think it’s a great idea, and to have it centered around the Copland piece is brilliant.’ Scott Guinn Senior voice performance major a concert that is not required in any way, but more just for the fun of music,” Janney said. Though the program falls on the Monday after Easter, Wilkinson said it wasn’t necessarily scheduled that way. “It just seemed to work out as a program thing, but also with everybody’s schedule, since we don’t have classes on Monday,” Wilkinson said. Wilkinson has publicized the event as much as possible. “He’s really going all-out to make this a well-attended event,” Janney said. This is good for the performers, according to Janney, because the musicians often end up playing before small crowds, regardless of the amount of work they have put into a performance. “It’s nice when we have a semi-full house, at least,” Janney said. Guinn said the inspirational theme of spring is going to make the concert a fun project. “It’s a privilege to be a part of it. I’m glad he (Wilkinson) asked me to do it, and I’m looking forward to it,” he said. The concert will be held at the School of Music recital hall at 4 p.m. Monday. The free program is open to the public.
