STORRS, CT (April 1st, 2015) UConn Voice and Opera presents their 2015 Spring Songfest: The
Great American Songbook on Sunday, April 19th at 2:00pm at the Jorgensen Center for the
Performing Arts in the lower-level Art Gallery on the UConn Storrs campus.
The Great American Songbook continues to be one of our most popular Songfest themes. A
favorite of singers and audience members alike, this program is sure to be entertaining for all.
Over thirty of our graduate and undergraduate singers will come together to sing a delightful
program featuring some of the most beloved songs and composers of the 20th century. The
program includes songs by Cole Porter, George Gerschwhin, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Kern,
Lerner and Lowe, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jule Styne, Irving Berlin, among others.
We are excited to be able to hold this event in the newly renovated Jorgensen Art Gallery. This
will be the first time our department has performed in this beautiful space. The Art Gallery is
currently featuring an exhibit entitled Dante and Robert Panichi which can be perused before
and after the performance, as well as during intermission. Additionally during these times,
entertainment will be provided by a jazz trio comprised of UConn students Andrew Wynsen
(piano), Alexandria Bodick (bass), and Will Trautmann (drums).
Songfest: The Great American Songbook will run for one performance only on Sunday, April 19th
at 2:00pm. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors and staff, and $5 for students.
Tickets can be purchased in person at the Jorgensen Box Office, by phone at (860) 486-4226, or

Parking Garage, almost immediately adjacent to the Jorgensen. We hope to see you there!
