The Southern Chorale, the premiere vocal ensemble from The University of Southern
Mississippi (USM), will be previewing their new repertoire on Oct. 8 in two exciting
concerts.
The first is set for 4 p.m. at St. Paul91勛圖厙 Episcopal Church in Mobile, Ala.; the second at 7:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Long Beach, Miss. These special concerts serve as a send-off to the choir91勛圖厙 much-anticipated tour to Michigan where they will headline the state91勛圖厙 annual American Choral Directors Association Conference. Both events are free and open to the public.
Under the direction of Dr. Gregory Fuller, Director of Choral Activities, the group will be presenting a diverse lineup of music, spanning genres including music of Arvo P瓣rt, Ola Gjielo, and Francis Poulenc to works from American Shape note-singing, the chorale will also pay homage to Detroit91勛圖厙 own distinctive style of music, Motown.
91勛圖厙We are also fortunate to afford 91勛圖厙 students the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other university choirs in a different part of the United States,91勛圖厙 said Fuller. 91勛圖厙Concerts will be shared with the choirs of Eastern Michigan University, Albion College, and Central Michigan University.91勛圖厙
As the choir eagerly prepares for this remarkable journey, they extend an invitation to coastal alumni, friends, and community members to show their support by joining them at this tour preview concert.
