The UP Chapel Choir will travel to New Orleans to spread the joy and mission of UP by singing at schools founded by the Marianite Sisters of Holy Cross during spring break, according to Maureen Briare, Campus Ministry. The Marianites were founded by Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C. Briare and her student choir look forward to meeting more of the Holy Cross family and sharing the beauty of music and faith.
If you feel inspired to contribute to their Pilot Funder Campaign, or help spread the word on social media, please visit this link.
This will be the second spring break tour for the Chapel Choir. We had so much fun at Notre Dame University last spring break, that we have now made a commitment to connect with the varied and wonderful ministry communities of Holy Cross across the U.S.
Any questions, or recommendations for visiting New Orleans are welcome at briare@up.edu or x7335.
The Wind Symphony and Chapel Choir will join forces for the fourth annual Junior Parents Weekend Chapel Concert on Saturday, February 17, at 3 p.m., in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher. This year’s music includes Give Us This Day, composed by and in memory of Wind Symphony friend David Maslanka. A selection from the Chapel Choir will feature a performance on the “pipa,” an ancient Chinese instrument played by Tinglei Huang ’18. The two ensembles will combine for a “Kyrie” adapted from Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. Conducting associates Christina Beningfield ’18 and Kaileigh Grishaber ’18 make their conducting debuts in what promises to be an exceptional afternoon of music. Free and open to all.
