The concert will feature vocal performances by Missouri S&T students Ian Ramsey, a senior in physics from Rolla, Elyse Carter, a senior in architectural engineering from St. Louis, Daniel Sloan, a senior in biological sciences from Cameron, Missouri, and Hannah Ramsey, a freshman in English from Rolla.
