UIC students presented a multilingual Vocal Concert with English, Chinese, French, Italian, Korean and Latin melodies on the evening of 4 December.
The 22 songs brought revealed a broad range of musical expressions. The performances included solo and chorus work, some accompanied by piano and dance.
