8:00 p.m. / February 22, 2025 / Howard Performing Arts Center.
This Saturday night at 8 p.m. in the Howard Performing Arts Center the ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University Chorale and Singers will present a special collaborative choral event featuring the University Singers of Southwestern Adventist University. This is the perfect concert for families – with repertoire that is thoughtful, edifying, and entertaining – and with narratives on the seasons of life, love, gratitude, passion, hope, and justice. This annual concert is a wonderful way to help melt away the winter blues. Some of the concert’s repertoire includes:
- “America the Beautiful” arranged by Joseph Martin, and “The Times They Are A-Changing” by Nobel laureate and American poet Bob Dylan
- “Soon We Will Be Done With the Troubles of the World” by Kyle Pederson celebrating God’s example of justice on earth and hope for heaven, and the soulful setting of “Give Me Jesus” by South African conductor and composer André van der Merwe.
- An elegant centerpiece of love songs: “Yesterday” arranged by Bob Chilcott, “Skylark” arranged by John Rutter, “All the Things You Are” arranged by Ward Swingle, and “I Love You / What a Wonderful World” arranged by Craig Hella Johnson.
The concert features the collaboration of award-winning and internationally renowned choirs on a mission to celebrate Christian values to the constituents of our community and the world.
