The Wayne State College Chamber Choir inspires optimism with songs of love, longing, and hope during a performance at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21, in Ley Theatre. The concert is free and open to the public and will also be livestreamed. To view the livestream, go to www.wsc.edu/watch-live. The program will be accessible by selecting the event from the Music Events list at www.wsc.edu/music.
Concert repertoire accentuates the choir’s vocal diversity through accompanied, a cappella, and solo performances. Selections include whimsical Renaissance era madrigal love songs and uplifting songs from theatrical productions. “96,000” from In the Heights is a clever rendition about winning a lottery jackpot. “30/90” from "tick, tick…BOOM!" captures the yearning to enjoy life. A jazz setting of “Over the Rainbow” from "The Wizard of Oz" conveys a message of eternal hopefulness.
Dr. Matthew Armstrong, associate professor of music, conducts the choir. Shelly Armstrong, staff accompanist, serves as collaborative pianist.
