Women’s Chorale Concert: Treble Night, April 25

April 20, 2018

The UP Women’s Chorale will be joined by other treble choirs from Clark College, Marylhurst University, Lindfield College, and the women of the University Singers as they celebrate the beauty of the treble voice on Wednesday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m., in Buckley Center Auditorium. The concert is free and open to all.

The Women’s Chorale will perform the heartbreaking Largo from Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Nancy Grundahl’s energetic arrangement of Followers of the Lamb, and Moira Smiley’s body percussive take on Bring Me Little Water, Silvy. Each choir will perform their own set, and in a stunning finale, 100 women will join together to sing Warrior by Kim Baryluk and Gwyneth Walker’s This Morning aka Hey Girl.
