Rachel Ackerman Solos at President's Concert


Rachel Ackerman had the exciting opportunity to perform and solo at The Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, Md with the Penn State Concert Choir. Each year, the president of Penn State University, Dr. Spanier, and the Alumni Association sponsors a performance for the School of Music at a major performing arts hall on the east coast. On February 25, 2011, the Concert Choir, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Centre Dimensions jazz ensemble performed at the Strathmore, and one of the pieces the Concert Choir sang was a piece that Rachel had a solo in! Rachel said, "It was incredibly exciting to sing in this great venue, and it was a fantastic experience." Congratulations Rachel!
