FOLLOWING the 27th season of the Hampden-Sydney College Music Festival in 2008, Barger Professor of Music James C.

He came to the College in 1981 with a bachelor’s degree from Williams College, an M.Mus. degree from Northwestern University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. He continues to accompany the Hampden-Sydney College Men’s Chorus, including during the group’s trip to Italy for Spring Break of 2006, and in the fall he gave a lecture on Beethoven’s 9th Symphony to students in the Western Culture course.
