Chamber Singers to perform at Sheldon Museum of Art's First Friday

Join us for the ultimate First Friday of 2016, collaboratively presented by the Sheldon Museum of Art and the University of Nebraska’s Glenn Korff School of Music. Enjoy art and music in one spectacular venue, with compelling exhibitions in the galleries and performances by the Chamber Singers in the Sheldon Museum of Art.

On Friday, December 2 at 5:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. in the Sheldon Museum of Art, the Chamber Singers will present a myriad of a cappella works that have been chosen to exploit the extraordinary acoustics of the Sheldon Museum of Art. Echo songs- even double-echo songs- will be featured, and singers will be heard from all corners and balconies of that unusual space. Seasonal motets and carols will of course be featured, also a Renaissance Hebrew motet, mystical songs by Benjamin Britten, French and Latin excepts from incidental music by Bernstein to a play, and a Deck The Hall finale that will produce a huge giggle! Visiting Professor William Hatcher will conduct.

The Chamber Singers are UNL’s premiere vocal chamber ensemble. A small choir of 24-28 voices, it is intended to provide the highest level of choral chamber performance experience for graduate and undergraduate singers at the Glenn Korff School of Music and throughout the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

The performance is free and open to the public.
