SFA A Cappella Choir to Perform
Sylvia Bierschenk - October 16, 2007
NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - The A Cappella Choir of Stephen F. Austin State University will present a varied program of choral literature during its fall concert at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
The choir is directed by Tim King and accompanied by Ron Petti, both SFA professors of music.
Sacred pieces included on the program are Alexandre Gretchaninoff's "Holy Radiant Light," a standard in the Russian Orthodox repertoire, and Alessandro Scarlatti's "Est Dies Trophei," a Baroque piece featuring four student soloists.
Soloists are soprano Monica Lancaster, Sulphur Springs senior; mezzo-soprano Jacquelyn Silva, Richmond senior; tenor John Green, Lewisville senior; and bass Christian Teague, North Richland Hills junior.
"The choir will also perform Johannes Brahms' 'Tafellied,' a delightful part song featuring the women's and men's sections in a flirting dialogue," King said.
The choir will close the concert with Alexandru Pascanu's "Suita Scurta," a collection of folksongs based on native Romanian dances.
The concert is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for students. For tickets or more information, please call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS, or purchase tickets on-line.
