ATLANTA -- The Oglethorpe University Singers and University Chorale perform a fall concert Friday, November 10 at 8:00 p.m. in the Conant Performing Arts Center.

The fall concert includes works by Harold Moyers and David McKay Williams plus folk songs, patriotic music and spirituals arranged by Warren Martin, Harry T. Burleigh, Fred Prentice and William Dawson. Ancient and modern madrigals by Palestrina, Servaes van der Meulen, Mary Lynn Badarak and P.D.Q. Bach are sung by the eight-member University Chorale.

A special feature of the concert is a performance of selections from Missa Gaia, a choral mass in celebration of Mother Earth. These selections showcase student instrumentalists playing percussion, guitar, flute and horn, as well as vocal soloists and the full 34-member Oglethorpe University Singers ensemble. Additional, integral parts of the music are the recorded voices of wolf, whale and harp seal.

The Oglethorpe University Singers and University Chorale will perform under guest conductor David Buice with Barbara Luhn, guest accompanist, and Peggy Benkeser, percussionist. The concert is free and open to the public. Visit www.oglethorpe.edu (keyword: arts) for more information.
