Renowned composer visits Binghamton High School chorus
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Chorus students at Binghamton High School got to learn directly from the man whose arrangements they'll be singing in their end of year concert this week. Renowned choral composer and director Kirby Shaw was a guest in the Helen Foley Theater on Tuesday to work with the young vocalists. Shaw has nearly 3,000 choral compositions and arrangements in print and has sold over 20 million copies of his music. On Tuesday, he provided feedback to Jennifer Easley's choral students who are preparing for their Spring concert on Thursday. Shaw had this basic advice for the young singers. 'At the most basic level, keep music in your life. It's good for the world. Music has a ripple effect, make it a good one. This will make the world a little bit better every time you open your mouths and sing a song,' said Shaw. Kirby will attend Thursday evening's performance and he's looking forward to hearing what the students do with his arrangements.

Dine with the animals at Ross Park Zoo
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Dine with the animals of the Ross Park Zoo as it raises money for conservation and animal education programs. Ross Park Zoo is hosting its annual Feast for the Beasts fundraiser on Thursday, May 22. The event allows guests to support the animals as they enjoy food from seven local eateries, adult beverage samples, raffles, and live music from local band Finding Bigfoot. Executive Director Phil Ginter says the animals are more active in the evening, so the event is a neat opportunity to view them after hours. Ross Park Zoo is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Ginter says the community's unwavering support and love for the animals is what has made the zoo so successful. 'We wouldn't have made it 150 years without the tremendous outpour of support from the community, and events like Feast are a perfect example of it. Whether it's the local restaurants and caterers that are coming in and giving up their time and talents, or the countless number of individuals who are donating items for our raffle baskets. So, it's just great to see the community really rally behind the zoo in this kind of way,' said Ginter. The event will kick off the zoo's opening weekend. The zoo will open for the season the following day, May 23, with special events throughout the weekend. Admission to Feast for the Beasts will begin at 5 p.m. Tickets are $65 for nonmembers and $50 for members.
