College, chamber choirs to perform in Christ Chapel

The Chamber and College Choirs will perform a wide variety of pieces in their concert this Sunday at 3 p.m. in Christ Chapel.

“This concert has things from all over the map,” visiting conductor Brad Holmes said. “From a 20th-century cathedral to an ancient Latin text, the wide range of selections means this is truly a concert with something for everybody.”

The program will be broken into four sections: “Psalms & Hymns,” Of Things Unseen,” “Sing!,” and “Endings/New Beginnings.” The concert will last just over an hour, with the choirs performing pieces both separately and together.

“Professor Holmes has brought his expertise and many years of experience to challenge both choirs this semester,” sophomore Olyvia Oeverman said. “I am really excited for this concert!”

Oeverman, a member of both the College and Chamber choirs, said the preparation for the concert has unified the choirs, as they work together to provide variety in both repertoire and styles of music. 

“Our goal is to take the audience on a sound journey while meditating on various aspects of the human condition,” Holmes said. “Come experience the architecture of the acoustics in the chapel.”
