Lindsey Wilson University Singers at CUMC April 28

By Shelby Burton

The Lindsey Wilson University Singers will join forces with the Somerset Big Band for an evening celebrating the timeless music of the Great American Songbook in a free performance at 7pmCT on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at Columbia United Methodist Church, 202 Burkesville St., Columbia.

The Somerset Big Band, founded in 2016, is a 21-member ensemble made up of professional musicians and community members from central and eastern Kentucky. The group performs traditional big band jazz and new compositions at festivals, community events and concerts throughout the region.

At the April 28 concert, the 35-member Lindsey Wilson Singers will perform a mix of songs with jazz-infused harmonies from the American Songbook, which generally refers to popular songs and jazz compositions from the 1920s through the 1960s.

Some of the selections scheduled to be performed include Fisher, Shay and Goodwin's "When You're Smilin'," Bart Howard's "Fly Me to the Moon," and Jones and Kahn's "What'll I Do."

The concert at Columbia United Methodist Church will also serve as a preview for the Lindsey Wilson Singers as they prepare for their annual spring tour. Following the university's spring commencement on May 1-2, 2026, the Lindsey Wilson Singers will perform in Michigan, with stops in Holland and Mackinac Island.
