Music Ensembles Perform at Spring Forum

The Southern Virginia University music ensembles performed for the last forum of the 2018-19 academic year on April 19.

“This musical forum is my personal-favorite forum of the year,” said Music Department Chair Eric Hanson. “It represents the end of a school year full of hard work and excellence in the performing arts and we’re always excited to share it with you. For many of our students, this also represents the last opportunity to perform for you before they graduate.”
