(stately music) (stately music continues) (audience applauding) - I'm Trent Brown.

I'm the artistic director of "Joyful and Triumphant."

I'm also professor of music at the Bower School of Music at Florida Gulf Coast University.

This is the 10th season that we've been doing "Joyful and Triumphant," and it's always been here at the beautiful sanctuary in Moorings Presbyterian Church.

And it has grown and expanded every year that we've done it.

This performance is really exciting because it takes four choral ensembles and the orchestra each doing the work that they've done in the semester separately and brings them together for one rehearsal and the performances for these times to make the magic so extravagant in these big choral-orchestral settings.

Thank you for joining us and seeing "Joyful and Triumphant" with the 210 student musicians from the Bower School of Music.

And we hope that you enjoy the show.
