Women's choir to present winter concert

The Bradley University Women's Choir, under the direction of Dr. Kerry Walters, will present a Winter Concert of music for treble voices on Saturday, December 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Dingeldine Music Center, located at 1417 W. Barker Avenue. Admission is free for students and $5 for the general public. Tickets will be available at the door the evening of the performance.

The program will incorporate a variety of sacred music including arrangements of Jewish Sabbath songs and Early American hymn-tunes from The Sacred Harp. Works by G. F. Handel, Michael Haydn, and arrangements of spirituals will complete the program. Pianist Ramona Carlyle will provide piano accompaniment for the group.

The BU Women's Choir was established in 1990 to provide young women at Bradley with the opportunity to sing music especially written for treble voices in an atmosphere of collegial and congenial music making. The group is made up of both music majors and those majoring in other fields of study.

Ms. Walters is associate professor of music at Bradley where she teaches voice and music education and conducts the Bradley Opera Workshop. Ms. Carlyle serves as accompanist for the Department of Music and is music director at University United Methodist Church.
