BGSU A Cappella, Collegiate choirs to give joint concert

all, events, voice

The BGSU A Cappella Choir and Collegiate Chorale will perform together at 8 p.m. Nov. 20 in Kobacker Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center.

The A Cappella Choir will perform sacred and secular works from the 1700s to the present. Highlights of the concert will include W.A. Mozart’s lively “Regina coeli” K. 276 for chorus and soloists, Edvard Grieg’s heartfelt “Ave Maris Stella,” Maurice Durufle’s contemplative “Ubi caritas,” Eric Whitacre’s sensuous “Water Night,” and Sean Caldwell’s driving arrangement of the gospel number “John the Revelator.” A Cappella Choir is an auditioned, 60-voice, mixed choir conducted by Timothy Cloeter, the newest addition to the choral faculty at BGSU.

The Collegiate Chorale, under the direction of Sandra Frey Stegman, will perform repertoire from a variety of style periods and genres. The opening sacred selections from the Renaissance period are contrasted with contemporary composer M. Shafer’s soundscape “Epitaph for Moonlight,” selected movements from “Zigeunerlieder” by J. Brahms, and music both beautiful and playful by American composers Samuel Barber and Eric Whitacre. Several members of the chorale will be featured in the uplifting closing gospel piece “He Is Marvelous,” by Rosephanye Powell. The Collegiate Chorale is a select mixed chamber ensemble consisting of predominantly upper class music majors.

Tickets are $10 for adults in advance or $13 if purchased at the door. Students can attend free with their student ID. Tickets may be purchased at the center box office weekdays from noon to 6 p.m. or by calling 419-372-8171, toll-free at 1-800-589-2224, or by e-mail at musictickets@bgsu.edu.
