Contemporary Pop Ensemble rocks SF Fine Arts Hall

November 10, 2026

Santa Fe College’s Contemporary Pop Ensemble showcased their versatility Friday, Nov. 6, at the Jackson N. Sasser Fine Arts Hall, performing a selection of the most popular artists from the ‘60s to the present day, including Santana, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Styx and Gorillaz. The performers switched places several times during the 15-song set, exhibiting their range on several vocal parts and instruments.

The band Crimson, a product of the SF Music program, performed a new original release, “Born from Death,” as part of the selection. 

Following the live-performance pedagogy of Assistant Professor of Music Edward White, Ph.D., the entire production — lighting, stage management and controlling sound levels on the mixing board — was student-run.
