The Chamber Singers at Stephen F. Austin State University will present a virtual concert entitled “Sojourn: An Evening of Sonnets, Spirituals and Love” when the ensemble performs at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13.
“The choral works presented on this concert represent a diverse repertoire of both festive, soulful and intimate sounds that will free the mind from the world for an evening,” according to Dr. Michael Murphy, director of choral activities in the SFA School of Music.
Works by American, British and Italian composers will be featured. The program includes music and/or arrangements by Williametta Spencer, Vittoria Aleotti, Undine S. Moore, L.L. Fleming, Stephen Paulus and more. A highlight of the concert will be a performance of Eric Whitacre’s “Five Hebrew Love Songs” with violin and piano.
The concert will also showcase Dr. Jennifer Dalmas, professor of violin at SFA; graduate student conductor and pianist Greg Simmons of Tyler; and graduate conductor David Zielke of Albany, Oregon.
