For anyone interested in an opportunity to enjoy choral singing in a welcoming, educational, no-audition choir, here is a fun opportunity: The All-Collegiate Choir at the Glenn Korff School of Music at UNL is open to students, faculty, and staff as well as community members from the Lincoln area.
The Choir rehearses one day a week on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30 on UNL's City Campus in the Westbrook Music Building, Room 130. No audition is required. This group performs large-scale works with orchestral, organ, and piano accompaniment, including many popular choral favorites. It also is frequently asked to sing in combination with other choirs on campus and in the community.
In past years, All-Collegiate Choir has sung such works as Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Haydn's Harmoniemesse, Mozart's Requiem and Solemn Vespers, the Bruckner Te Deum, the Poulenc Gloria, Verdi's Requiem, Karl Jenkin's The Armed Man, Pinkham's Christmas Cantata, and several cantatas of Bach, King David of Honegger, Carmina Burana of Carl Orff, Mass settings by Rossini, Dvorák and Kodály, and contemporary works by Britten and Libby Larsen, as well as Mahler's gigantic Symphony No. 2.
If you are interested in joining this choir, contact Dr. Marques L. A. Garrett, director, marques.garrett@unl.edu. The first rehearsal is August 29. Please arrive early for registration assistance.
