Overall Tan enjoys the Midday series and thinks it is well-organized community event.
"I think Midday Music is a great concert series because it presents a wide variety of music and the programming is interesting," Tan said. "It is also audience-friendly and is a nice midday relief from the regular workday."
The second to last event, held April 11, featured a performance from the Ohio State University's men's vocal octet, High Street
A Cappella.
This award-winning group takes its name from High Street in Columbus, one of the main roads of the university. All eight members of the group are presently students at the university or have graduated. The octet's repertoire contains an eclectic blend of classical, sacred and romantic works, in addition to a blend of contemporary pop music.
Daugherty said he was impressed with the a cappella octet and was also pleased with the turnout at the April 11 performance, stating that there were 250 people in attendance, one of his largest groups yet.
All Midday Music in Oxford performances are held at the Oxford Presbyterian Church on 101 N. Main Street.
The church is happy to be the host building for the event, according to Elaine Patterson, church secretary.
Three years ago Daugherty needed a different location for Midday because the former location was under renovation. He asked if he could hold the event at the church, and the response was positive.
"We enjoy having the program here," Patterson said. "We feel it is part of our outreach program. We also see a lot of our members attending these events."
Patterson has not looked into how the event is affecting numbers in service attendance, but she did report that the music performances draw a large attendance, well more than 200 people.
Junior Adrienne Cantrell, a music performance major, said she enjoys attending Midday Music in Oxford when she has some time between her Wednesday classes.
"I go to the Midday Music performances because I like how I can hear performers from outside of the university," she said.
The Midday Music series holds four performances in the fall and four in the spring. The series runs September through April, and is free to the public.
