An Evening of Choirs, a performance featuring the All-Collegiate Choir, the Varsity Men’s Chorus and the University Chorale, will take center stage at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at Kimball Recital Hall.
University students, employees and Lincoln area community members will join vocal forces as the All-Collegiate Choir presents selections ranging from the early Renaissance with Guillame Dufay’s “Gloria ad modum tubae” to Craig Hella Johnson’s arrangement of Carly Simon’s 1989 Grammy Award winning “Let the River Run.” They will also perform “Sing Dem Herrn,” “Ave Verum Corpus” and “The Word Was God.”
The University Chorale will continue its tribute to music to For, About, and By women, featuring works by Leonard Bernstein, Debra Scroggins, Yoojin Muhn and others.
The Varsity Men’s Chorus will feature a special version of the “Star Spangled Banner” commemorating the 200th anniversary this fall of the writing of the famous text. They will also feature several other musicians as they perform traditional male-chorus favorites from traditional fight songs to Jamaican tunes.
Tickets to the Glenn Korff School of Music event are $5 general admission and $3 for students and senior citizens.
