The Concert Singers were invited by Distinguished Concerts International to perform Sunday night at Carnegie Hall in New York City. They performed a “wide range of pieces, including classics, contemporary pieces and Mississippi originals,” according to a university press release.

“My goal is to provide Ole Miss choir students with a comprehensive choral experience, which includes performing in a variety of acoustical environments in historical churches and concert halls,” Trott said in the press release. “Carnegie Hall is certainly the world’s most famous concert hall.”
