TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGING - As ambassadors to the communities where they’ll perform, members of the Maryville College Concert Choir have a timely message for the 2025 Spring Choir Tour: “Times, They Are A-Changing,” but through music, connections can be made and unity can be achieved. The Concert Choir will begin its spring performance season with a 4 pm concert on Sunday, Feb 23, here at St. James. Then, the choir will head southeast for performances in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida before returning to East Tennessee for a March 21 homecoming concert in the Clayton Center’s Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre. Despite the current socio-political climate’s uncertainty and confusion, the tour — themed around folk legend Bob Dylan’s 1964 song of the same name — is designed to inspire perseverance through those changes. The repertoire offers a reflection of resilience, compassion, the enduring power of community, and the comfort found in a spiritual connection to something greater than ourselves.
