Clarendon College will host Connie Dover in two concerts this weekend to raise funds for a campus charity benefiting college employees.
Emmy-winner Connie Dover will perform Friday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m., in the Barfield Activity Center and on Saturday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the White Deer Land Museum in Pampa.
Dover is known for her inspired arrangements of the music of Scotland, Ireland and early America display a depth and breadth of range that have established her as one of the world’s pre-eminent traditional singers. She studied at Oxford University, and she researched music from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Miles City, Montana. It was around Wyoming campfires, trading songs with old-time cowboys, where Dover discovered that the ancient ballads she learned in Scotland were still being sung on cattle trails in the Rocky Mountains.
This weekend’s concerts will support the CC cancer fund. She has waived her usual concert fees and is being brought to Clarendon by Dr. Ken & Eulaine McIntosh. Dover is a life-long friend of Mrs. McIntosh. The evening includes a reception of light hors d’oeuvres and a chance to win one of her CDs.
Ticket prices vary, with General Admission being $25 per person, or five tickets for $100. The cost is less for college employees, students of all public schools, and children. Tickets are available at the door or online at http://bit.ly/3IexauY.
