The highly acclaimed Varsity Voices concert series will be back on 4 March 2007, with promise of more exciting and vibrant repertoire!
Conducted by esteemed choral director Nelson Kwei, the NUS Choir proudly presents Varsity Voices 2007: Musica Sacra, an evening of divine melodies and sacred music, a testimony of the Choir's continuous musical exploration of a diverse and exciting genre.
Varsity Voices promises an enjoyable and uplifting evening as the NUS Choir presents a repertoire of sacred music that spans centuries and continents. The first half will feature classical pieces such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Missa Brevis (Sparrow Mass), reminiscent of sprightly sparrow chirpings, and Franz Joseph Haydn's festively grand and symphonic Te Deum
The second half will feature sacred pieces by contemporary composers such as Vajda Janos and Ralph Hoffman, demonstrating musical colour through the use of dissonance. The Choir will also perform a collection of upbeat African-American spirituals arranged by Moses Hogan. These spirituals, borne out of the hardships of servitude and slavery, reflect a poignant optimism and reliance on the divine, through emotive rhythms and catchy melodies.
Come and join us in an evening that promises to uplift your spirit and charm your soul.
Date: Sunday, 4 March '07
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: University Cultural Centre Hall, NUS
Featuring guest choir and participant of NUS Choir's First Annual Choral Workshop, Concord Primary School Choir
