This year’s repertoire includes acrobatic arrangements of Kabalevsky’s Comedians’ Gallop and Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.
The UAMC is one of the University’s oldest non-athletic groups. Each season, its members come together to share a love of music, under the able leadership of Dr. Robert de Frece. For over 60 years the UAMC has created beautiful music and shared it with the community in the spirit of those students who founded the group in 1944.
