Three Linfield College vocal groups will be featured during the fall choral concert on Sunday, Oct. 5, at 4 p.m. in the Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium in Melrose Hall at Linfield.
The concert, “My Spirit Sang All Day,” will feature the Men’s Glee Club, Women’s Vocal Ensemble and the Linfield Concert Choir. The performances will be conducted by Anna Song, assistant professor of music, and include music by George Frideric Handel, Gerald Finzi, Edward Bairstow and Juris Karlsons. In addition, the concert will include folk songs from New Zealand, Hawaii and America.
The Linfield College Concert Choir is the premier choral organization for all qualified singers at Linfield. This select group of 40 voices was the first such ensemble in the Pacific Northwest and has toured every year since its formation in 1930. The choir toured Costa Rica in 2013 and will travel to Hawaii this February.
The Men’s Glee Club and Women’s Vocal Ensemble offer students and staff from across campus and the community the opportunity to sing and perform a wide variety of music written for male and female voices throughout the year, and occasionally combine to perform repertoire for mixed voices.
The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Linfield Department of Music at 503-883-2275 or visit linfield.edu/arts.
