On Tuesday night, April 15, at 7:30 PM, the UTC Men’s and Women’s Choirs will present their Spring Choral Concert in the Roland Hayes Concert Hall at the UTC Fine Arts Center. The concert is offered free to the general public.

The UTC Men’s Choir is directed by the Ruth Holmberg Professor of Music, Dr. Roland Carter. The young men in the group come from a variety of major areas of study and combine together out of their love of singing. They will present a varied selection of repertoire which includes Wagner’s famous “Pilgrims Chorus” from Tannhauser, a setting of a Norwegian folksong by Grieg, and two spiritual arrangements.

The Women’s Choir is directed by UTC music department chair, Dr. Lee Harris. Like the Men’s choir, the Women’s choir personnel are not all music majors but represent a diverse selection of UTC students who come together for the experience of choral performance. The Women will perform two selections from the Brahms’ Liebeslieder Walzër, a Mendelssohn setting of the Vesper hymn “Laudate Pueri Dominum”, and a setting of the “Lord’s Prayer” by Edwin Gerschefski.

The men and women will combine to conclude the concert for a performance of the Flummerfelt arrangement of "Danny Boy” and a spiritual “Glory Hallelujah! Since I Laid My Burden’s Down” by Wallace Cheatham.
