1951 saw the formation of the first Alfred Tech Concert Choir:
Through the years, the membership grew in number to around 120 during the 1960’s.
The Alfred State Concert Choir Alumni organization was founded in 1957 and consists of alumni who performed as students under the direction of Anthony C. Cappadonia, who was the instrumental and choral director at Alfred State for 56 years. On April 29, 2012, the Anthony C. Cappadonia Auditorium was officially dedicated. (use the link below to see more on that.)
The auditorium will forever be a testament to the musical inspiration Cappadonia provided to all of his students during his many years of teaching and directing both instrumental and choral groups, as well as his continued relationship with alumni. Cappadonia passed away in February 2014, and the alumni continue to perform annual concerts in his honor.
So many years of dedication and love and beautiful music. Be sure to click into the THROUGH THE YEARS link for a photo tour.
