Singers to Present Concert of Inspirational Music
JONESBORO – Arkansas State University's Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, as well as a guest choir from Annie Camp Junior High School, will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Riceland Hall of Fowler Center.
The choral music program's theme this year is "Together We . . . ," and this concert is titled “Together We Inspire.”
"The choirs will perform music that inspires the heart and soul: songs of nature, spiritual wonder, and interpersonal relationships," stated Dr. Ryan Sullivan, director of choral activities. "During each concert this season, we will partner with a local organization from Jonesboro or here on campus to feature them or raise awareness for their issues. It’s all in an effort to demonstrate to our audiences that A-State is an arts leader and also deeply tied to the community in non-musical ways."
The concert will feature a variety of music from the 16th to the 21st centuries with composers such as Brahms, Elgar, Monteverdi, Copland, and many others. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
