FARMINGTON — Christopher Garrepy will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17, as part of the Nordica Day concert.

Famed opera diva Lillian Nordica performed in her hometown of Farmington on Aug. 17, 1911, to an overflow audience in the auditorium that now bears her name.

Aug. 17 has since been celebrated as Nordica Day. The celebration includes a concert featuring the winner of the Nordica Scholarship, awarded annually to an outstanding singer in Maine.

Garrepy, this year’s scholarship winner, is a countertenor. He is a voice performance major at the University of Southern Maine, where he studies with Ellen Chickering. He is also the 2016 recipient of the Eleanor Erdman and Diane Nixon Vocal Excellence Award from Bay Chamber Concerts. He will be accompanied by Scott Wheatley on piano.

Garrepy recently appeared in the role of Ottone in the USM production of “Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea.” He has also sung with many choral groups in New England, including St. Mary Schola, which performed in Farmington in May.

Nordica Auditorium is in Merrill Hall on the University of Maine at Farmington campus.

Donations will be accepted. Refreshments will be served following the concert.
