HOUGHTON COLLEGE CHOIR PERFORMING AT LINCOLN CENTER
HOUGHTON, N.Y.
The Houghton College Choir is making their debut performance at the Lincoln
Center in New York on Wednesday, March 1.
The American
Choral Director Association has invited the Houghton College Choir to be part
of An Evening of Choral
Artistry at the Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center. They will be joined by the
Temple University Concert Choir, the Queens College Vocal Ensemble and the
Westminster Choir College of Rider Universitys Jubilee Singers performing
masterworks from Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, Johannes Brahms,
Roland de Lassus and Camille Saint-Sans. Additionally, the ensembles will
perform newer works from Wolfram Buchenberg, Stephen Caldwell, Ren Clausen,
Colin Dill, Cynthia Folio, Arvo Prt, and Eric Whitacre.
Founded in 1931, the Houghton College Choir continues the tradition of
performing sacred choral music that originally earned the choir a reputation
for performing with sensitivity and artistry. Under the direction of
conductor Brandon Johnson,
the choir tours
regularly throughout the
United States each year. They also have performed with the Buffalo
Philharmonic and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.
This
May the Houghton College Choir will make an additional trip to Eastern Europe
singing in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Germany.
