Oglethorpe Singers On-Air and In Concert

ATLANTA - The Oglethorpe University Singers and University Chorale are preparing to entertain you in November.

On Monday, November 7, the University Singers and University Chorale will be featured on WABE’s The Atlanta Music Scene, which airs from 9:00 until 10:00 p.m. The program will air highlights from concerts held at Oglethorpe University between 2000 and 2003, including Guiseppe Pitoni’s Cantante Domino, Martin How’s Day by Day, Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel arranged by Ralph Hunter, David Brunner’s O Music and Edwin Robertson’s Rose Morals – Red, a piece commissioned by the University Singers. WABE, an Atlanta affiliate of National Public Radio, can be heard at 90.1 FM in Atlanta or www.wabe.org (click "Listen Live").

If you enjoy the music you hear on The Atlanta Music Scene, make plans to attend the University Singers Fall Concert on Friday, November 11. The concert begins at 8:00 p.m. in the Conant Performing Arts Center on the campus of Oglethorpe University. Dr. W. Irwin Ray, Jr., Oglethorpe’s director of musical activities, conducts the group while artist-in-residence David Buice accompanies the Singers. Admission to the concert is free.

The performance will include a sampling of choral literature from the Renaissance through the twenty-first century, including motets and choruses by Thomas Tallis, G.F. Handel and Mendelssohn; madrigals and part songs by Schubert and Brahms; the Gloria from György Orbán’s Mass No. 6; and folk songs from South Africa, Israel and Czechoslovakia.
