Chamber Choir on tour

The University Chamber Choir is scheduled for a tour in Arizona and Nevada in February 2008. Tour stops include area churches and schools to perform concerts, assemblies and clinics.

The sixteen-voice select choir is chosen from the University A Cappella Choir and conducted by Kurt E. von Kampen. They will perform a variety of chamber choral works including music of J.S. Bach, Martin Luther, Volckmar Leisring, John Rutter, Moses Hogan and others. A centerpiece of the concert is the performance of Harlem Songs, a new set of three anthems by American composer Gwyneth Walker based on the poetry of African-American poet Langston Hughes.

Admission to concerts is free; an offering will be taken at evening concerts. Performances at schools and worship services are not complete concerts.
