A National Pastime: Choir Concert Friday Celebrates Universality of Singing
The Michigan Tech Concert Choir and ConScience Michigan Tech Chamber Singers present “A National Pastime,” at Friday, April 26 7:30 p.m. in the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts.
Choral singing is the most popular form of participation in the performing arts in America. In Canada, it has more participants than hockey. Around the world and through the ages people have gathered to sing together. This concert celebrates the idea of community singing with popular songs, folk songs, and art songs from many different countries and communities. The audience will even be invited to participate in singing beloved tunes.
Jared Anderson, choir director, discusses the diverse music presented in the performance: “We will be singing songs from Syria, India, New Zealand, Samoa, Ireland, South Africa, Korea, and the United States. The music will represent a kind of choral melting-pot for our audience.”
The Michigan Tech Concert Choir is a select ensemble of students and community singers studying and performing choral literature ranging from Gregorian Chant to Renaissance motets, masses and madrigals to fascinating new works by living composers. conScience: Michigan Tech Chamber Singers is a select, student-only chamber choir of 24 voices.
