Music professor to be guest conductor at Disney holiday event
William Powell, associate professor of music and director of choral activities, returns to Walt Disney World as one of three nationally recognized guest conductors for the Candlelight Processional. Held every year at Epcot, the Candlelight Processional consists of a mass choir of singers from across the country joined by a 50-piece live orchestra and a celebrity narrator. The production, which occurs nightly from Nov. 30-Dec. 30, tells the story of Christmas in words and music. Performances are held at the America Gardens Theatre. Powell will conduct shows Dec. 24-27.
