The Linfield College Concert Choir, Women’s Vocal Ensemble and Wildcat Men’s Glee Club will come together to present a spring choir concert. The three groups, under the direction of Anna Song, associate professor of music and director of choral activities at Linfield, will present “We Are One” on Sunday, May 13, at 4 p.m. in the Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium in Melrose Hall at Linfield.
The program will honor the 100th anniversary of American composer Leonard Bernstein’s birth with a performance of “Chichester Psalms,” featuring organ, harp and percussion, as well as selections from “West Side Story” and “Candide.” The concert will also include songs by Billy Joel, Joan Szymko, Karen Robinson and Jacob Narverud.
The Linfield College Concert Choir is the premier choral organization at Linfield. This select group was the first such ensemble in the Pacific Northwest. The choir has toured every year since its formation in 1930, traveling throughout the western states, Hawaii, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, China and Southeast Asia and has performed at state, regional, national and international conferences.
The Wildcat Men’s Glee Club and Women’s Vocal Ensemble offer participants the opportunity to sing and perform a wide variety of literature written for male and female voices throughout the year, and occasionally combine to perform repertoire for mixed voices.
The concert is free, open to the public and sponsored by the Linfield Department of Music and Linfield Lively Arts. For more information, call 503-883-2275 or visit linfield.edu/arts.
