January 28, 2005 ![]() Iowa State Singers L.A.-boundThe Iowa State Singers will present a "bon voyage" concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30, in Tye Hall, Music Building. The group will perform some of what it plans to sing next week in Los Angeles at the national convention of the American Choral Directors Association. Conductor James Rodde called the group's selection to perform at the convention "the pinnacle of achievement for an American choir." Ensembles were selected through a blind tape audition process by leading conductors. The group's schedule includes three solo performances Feb. 2-3 at convention sites and an appearance Feb. 1 at an ISU alumni reception in Los Angeles. There is no admission charge for the "bon voyage" performance. Photo by Dave Gieseke.

![]() Join in the caperThe Triplets of Belleville (2003) is the Feb. 3 selection in the Stud Union Board spring film series at the Memorial Union. This French animated film features music and not a lot of dialogue. When her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour de France, Madame Souza and her pooch team up with the Belleville sisters -- an aged song-and-dance team from the days of Fred Astaire -- to rescue him. Film time is 8 p.m. in the MU Maintenance Shop. S.U.B. films are free this spring -- and the popcorn still is free, too. |
