CANYON, Texas — West Texas A&M University choirs will offer a mix of folk songs, classical works, American standards and spirituals in their final concert of the academic year—plus a song by The Beatles.
The WT Chamber Singers, Collegiate Choir and Chorale will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 30 in Mary Moody Northen Recital Hall on WT’s Canyon campus. Admission is free.
“The final concert of the WT Choirs’ season will offer plenty of variety as we come to the culmination of a banner year for the WT choral program,” said Dr. Sean Pullen, professor of music and director of choral activities. “The Chamber Singers, Collegiate Choir, and Chorale will perform a new program of music the audience is sure to enjoy.”
Among the works on the program are “Here Comes the Sun, written by George Harrison and released by the Fab Four in 1969; “Till There Was You” from “The Music Man” by Meredith Wilson; traditional spirituals “Do Lord, Remember Me,” “Hush!” and “Oh, What a Beautiful City”; and more.
Student conductors will include Eduardo Guaderrama, a graduate student in choral conducting from Friona; Brady Fellers, a junior music education major from Borger; and Sauncy Reddick, a senior music education major from Beaver, Oklahoma.
For information, call 806-651-2840.
A roster of choirs is below.
Fostering an appreciation of the arts is a key component of the University’s long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.
That plan is fueled by the historic One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which reached its initial $125 million goal 18 months after publicly launching in September 2021. The campaign’s new goal is to reach $175 million by 2025; currently, it has raised nearly $160 million.
