The Women's Chorale and Brass Choir, conducted by Janet Galvan and Keith Kaiser, respectively, will give a joint concert on Sunday, March 1, at 4:00 p.m. in Ford Hall. The Women's Chorale program will feature the "Stabat Mater" by Pergolesi and the brass choir will perform music of Tull, Grieg, Verdi, and Arnold.
The Women's Chorale includes between 50 and 65 singers, both music and non-music majors, freshmen through graduate students. The chorale has distinguished itself for its innovative programming and performs a variety of repertoire that balances master composers from all musical periods, compositions of high quality from less-celebrated composers, contemporary pieces that stretch the boundaries of choral sound, and works that embody the world's many musical heritages.
The Brass Choir rehearses twice a week and performs two to four times per year, both in Ford Hall and for campus events such as the annual Veteran's Day Celebration. Their focus is music for brass (sometimes with percussion), including some repertoire from the British brass band tradition.
