Elite Choir to Perform in Rotunda
VALDOSTA -- The Valdosta State Chamber Singers will perform an
hourlong holiday concert by candlelight at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on
Sunday, Dec. 6, in the grand acoustical stage of West Hall鈥檚
rotunda. The elite ensemble of 28 singers will delight audiences
with renaissance motets, new compositions and familiar favorites
such as 鈥淚 Wonder as I Wander,鈥 鈥淟ittle Drummer Boy鈥 and 鈥淪ilent
Night.鈥
Director of Choral Studies Dr. Paul Neal said the Chamber Singers
will also present the southern premiere of 鈥淭ruth From Above,鈥 a
new Christmas carol written by Dr. Jim Shrader, chair of the
Department of Music.
鈥淭his concert has quickly become a South Georgia tradition,鈥 said
Neal, who arranged the concert. 鈥淲e sold out last year, and we
expect to do the same last year. The West Hall rotunda is a
magnificent place to sing, and the holiday music really helps to
get people into the spirit of the season.鈥
Proceeds from the performance, which costs $10 for adults and $5
for students, will support the Chamber Singers鈥 tour to Atlanta and
Savannah in the spring of 2010. Tickets will not be sold at the
door the night of the concert. Call (229) 333-5812 to reserve
tickets.
