VITERBO UNIVERSITY SPRING CHOIR CONCERT MAY 7

LA CROSSE, Wis. – Viterbo University’s Concert Choir, 9th Street Singers, and Choral Arts community group will perform a spring concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 7 in Mary of the Angels Chapel at St. Rose Convent.

A professional brass ensemble consisting of players from the La Crosse Wind Symphony will accompany the singers on works by Schutz, Mendelssohn, and Rutter. The centerpiece of the program is John Rutter’s Gloria, scored for 8-part brass, percussion, organ, and chorus, that will feature all three choirs.

Gloria is a thrilling piece with moments of exuberant power in the outer movements and meditative tranquility in the middle movement,” said James Wilson, Viterbo faculty member and director of choral studies. “It’s going to be a magnificent sound in one of La Crosse’s best acoustic spaces.”

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040C48AEAD2EA0FA7-spring3 to reserve seats.
