This Saturday evening, the women of Sigma Alpha Iota will hold their fall concert, “A Little Night Music,” at 8 p.m. in the Howard Music Building’s McNamara Rehearsal Hall.
The concert, expected to last about an hour and a half, will feature 14 acts.
“A lot of the music is more geared toward night music like things talking about dreams or lullabies,” SAI president senior Gaby Wong said in an email. “The couple pieces I am in are more acoustic as well, which I think gives a more relaxed feel to the concert.”
Though many of the songs deal with similar themes, the concert will feature a wide variety of music, according to the concert’s program director, junior Sarah Schutte.
“We’re doing a jazz arrangement, we have people doing original compositions, we have people doing pop arrangements, stuff from musicals, some acoustic sets — so all different genres,” Schutte said.
Though SAI graduated 23 seniors last year, over half the Hillsdale Chapter, this year’s concert length was not affected by the smaller number of performers. It still has roughly the same number of acts, which SAI members began rehearsing for toward the beginning of the fall semester.
“It’s a little smaller, but still very strong,” Schutte said. “There has been a lot of dedication and enthusiasm.”
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for the concert, and seats typically fill up quickly, Schutte said.
“I’m anticipating a really big crowd,” Schutte said. “We usually fill all the seats and still have people standing.”
