Easter Choral Concert

Singers & Chorale present

The Andrews University Singers and Chorale, under the direction of Stephen Zork, will perform their annual Easter concert on Saturday, April 4, at 8 p.m., in the Howard Performing Arts Center. No tickets are required.

The concert will feature the premier of a choral piece written by Andrews University student and composer Michael Momohara titled, “My Plea.” The text of the piece was written by WWII Japanese internment camp survivor Mary T. Matsuzawa.

“Our music will celebrate Christ’s healing touch and teaching ministry,” says Zork. “Pieces such as ‘By Peter’s House’ by Brad Lehman and ‘This House of Peace’ by Ralph Johnson express the pathos experienced by Jesus Christ in the events leading up to His death.”

The ensembles will also perform “God So Loved the World” by Bob Chilcott, “Crucifixus” by Antonio Lotti, “Prayer of Gratitude & Psalm 150” by Andrew Bleckner (sung in Hebrew and English) and “Gloria Dios” by Ariel Ramirez (sung in Spanish).

Soloists for the event include Charles Reid, tenor; Carrie Vandenburgh, soprano; Christina Gibson, flute; and Mowa Mowa, cello.
