鈥淭he program will cover many different styles,鈥� says CSM Director of Fine Arts Christopher Krampe. 鈥淭hey range from 50鈥檚 pop to 16th century sacred choral music.鈥�
The choir, along with music students and faculty will perform diverse, entertaining musical selections from a wide array of genres and world cultures. They include 鈥淪ister Act鈥� and 鈥淟es Miserables鈥�, as well as music by Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
Palestrina (1525-1594) was a major composer of secular and sacred music and held many appointments, including maestro di cappella or musical director of the Cappella Giulia, and master of music at the Vatican Basilica. Palestrina鈥檚 works are known for their spiritual qualities and technical mastery.
The performance will include several selections that will be taken with the choir on its May 2017 tour to Montego Bay, Jamaica.
