Commencement Eve 'Freedom'

Exploring the theme of "Freedom: Celebration of the Human Spirit," the 29th annual Commencement Eve Concert featured performances by a number of Ithaca College ensembles and faculty members. The concert was held May 18 at Ben Light Gymnasium

Dana Wilson, award-winning composer and professor of music at the College, directed the concert for the ninth consecutive year. The program included performances by the Ithaca College Choir, the Jazz Workshop, the Marimba Ragtime Band, the Percussion Ensemble, the Wind Ensemble, and vocalists.

The concert theme was inspired by the fact that human rights activist Elie Wiesel was the main speaker at Commencement the following day.
