The program will feature the ability of the choir to sing with different choral colors and with overtone singing. Works familiar to most audiences include “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” and “What a Wonderful World” made famous by Louis Armstrong. The sixteen-voice Chamber Singers will also share a couple of selections including, “The Peace of Wild Things” which is the theme of their concert on Tuesday, April 25 7:30 pm in Steadman Theatre.
The evenings of singing promise to offer uplifting music for these trying times. The concerts are free and open to the public with an opportunity to donate at the door.
