May 2011 — Celebrating the Choral Art

Vocal Alchemy with special guests The Men of Pro Coro Canada on May 15

The choir tops off a successful year with this spring concert showcasing its wide range of repertoire and sound. Including great choral masterworks by composers like Mozart and Mendelssohn, beautiful arrangements of folk songs, and soul-touching spirituals, this concert will have something to surprise and delight everyone in the audience.

In another exciting collaborative performance, the choir will be joined for this evening by the Men of Pro Coro Canada (including our own Jordan Van Biert), directed by Trent Worthington. The group will perform a variety of lighter repertoire, classical and popular tunes and join VA for a set of folk songs together.
