Utah State University choirs present the annual fall concert “Autumn Voices” for all to enjoy Friday, Sept. 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the Caine Performance Hall on the USU Logan campus.
“Celebrate the fall season with beautiful choral music in an exquisite venue,” said Cory Evans, director of the choral program and professor in the Caine College of the Arts (CCA).
The concert features the USU Chamber Singers, USU Chorale and USU Women’s Choir, groups directed by Cory Evans and Luke Shepherd.
“The USU Chamber Singers will present John Tavener's haunting ‘Funeral Ikos,’ as well as a collection of American folk songs, including the spirited ‘Ain'a That Good News’ and a new arrangement of the southern folk tune ‘Look Up, Look Down,’ featuring primitive, industrial percussion instruments to enhance this rustic American piece,” Evans said.
The USU Chorale will perform music of Anton Bruckner, Philip Stopford, Mack Wilberg, Stephen Paulus and Joseph Joubert’s “absolutely rockin’” version of “Down ByThe Riverside,” Evans said.
The USU Women's Choir will perform a song cycle of love and loss, including the music of Donald Patriquin and a new arrangement of “Somewhere” from West Side Story created specifically for the concert by Women’s Choir director, Luke Shepherd.
