Ring in the holidays


What would the holidays be without music and what would they be without the College’s Chorus performing season tunes?

Wonder no more for the Arts & Letters Series will present the MCC Chorus Fall Semester Concert on Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m. in the McCain Theater in Ivy Hall. Admission is free.

The Meridian Community College Chorus, under the direction of Tammy Miles and Twyla Hurst will present an evening of choral literature from various composers, time periods and cultures. Traditional Christmas repertoire will be included.

In addition to the concert choir, MCC’s two vocal ensembles, EnCore and Dimensions, will entertain the audience with pop, rock and R&B selections. A fourth ensemble, the MCC High School Chorus, will share music from their fall semester of study.

Afterwards, concert-goers are welcomed to enjoy a delicious desserts prepared by Mark Chandler and the MCC Hotel and Restaurant Management Technology group.

For more information about this Arts & Letters event, contact Leia Hill at extension 696.


 

Adding style to the holidays


Celebrate the Holidays, the annual event which puts the finishing touch on decorating for the season, will get under way Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 6 p.m. in the MSU Riley Center in Downtown Meridian.

 Special guest speaker will be MCC alumnus Barclay Fryery (Class of 1980). Tickets are $60 each and may be purchased before the deadline of Wednesday, Nov. 28.

Fryery is a Greenwich, Conn., based lifestyle expert, interior designer, TV host, columnist and author. He has been named one of the top 125 designers in America by House Beautiful for four years. The 46-year-old interior designer has spent his career traveling the world, broadening with each new destination the taste he learned in his native Meridian.

"When you come from a simple place and you do great things, it's still a little overwhelming that people honor your work," the designer said.

The roots of his design philosophy stretch back as far as childhood, when he often tidied the house for company and made a habit of rearranging the living room furniture. After graduating from from Ole Miss in 1982, he launched his professional career at age 27, taking on an adaptation of his given name, Timothy Mark Barclay Fryery.

"My design is not cookie-cutter," he says. "I believe interior design should be based on the architecture, the region, and the personalities of the woman, man, and children who live there."

Fryery, whose parents Frances and Lee Fryery still reside in Meridian, also dreams of one day opening an interior-design shop in his native state.

In addition to Fryery’s appearance, there will be music and food.

Music on the horizon


With the theme, “Giving All the Praise Back to God,” the Meridian Community College Gospel Choir will be in concert Thursday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in the College’s McCain Theater.

Admission is free of charge.

Advisers Vivian Naylor and Ardra Govan said the 27-member strong group has performed in various venues this semester including in Millsprings Missionary Baptist Church in Weir, St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Meridian and at the Queen City Fair.

For the concert on their home stage, the MCC Gospel Choir will be singing Let It Rise, Everything, Awesome God, I Will Bless the Lord, Make Me Over, Blessing with My Name on It, Clap Your Hands with Me and You’ve Been So Faithful.

Members of the choir include, Latija Beckum, Francheska Brown, Sayde Harris, Whitney Hoskins, Anita Johnson, Frekeisha Jones, Cymaree Lampton, Amber Rhodes and Tieisha Triplett, sopranos; Brittany Altman, LaCheryl Cobb, LaKeadra Coffey, Tanasha Holmes, Valerie Hudnall, Deadra Miller, Twyla Miller, LaChaneka Robertson, Kimyetta Triplett, Alecia Turner, and Vaneshia Ward, altos; Demetrius Brown, Tarren Harvey, Andrew Towner and Dwight Turner, tenors; and William Myles and Jeremy Jordan, musicians.
