SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Evangel University’s four choral ensembles will perform the Spring Choral Concert on Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Barnett Recital Hall.

Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

The first half of the concert will feature the Men’s Vocal Ensemble and the University Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Kevin Hawkins and accompanied by Dr. Greg Morris on piano. This semester these groups have focused on singing traditional African-American spirituals.

The second half of the concert will feature the Women’s Chamber Ensemble and the University Chorale, under the direction of Tom Matrone and accompanied on piano by Dr. Linda Ligate. They will perform Schubert’s Mass No. 2 in G Major with soloists featured from upperclassmen.

“The concert music is more varied than any concert we have done at Evangel,” Matrone said. “There is something for everyone!”
