Utah State University choirs present the annual fall concert, “Autumn Voices,” for all to enjoy Thursday, Oct. 1, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Hyde Park. This year’s theme is “Voices of Heaven.”

“Celebrate the fall season with beautiful choral music performed by USU students,” 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 Eastern Choir and the Scotsmen Pipe and Drum Corps will also perform.

The USU Chamber Singers will perform selections from Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil as well as works from Thomas Tallis, Javier Busto, Igor Stravinsky and Paul Manz. The USU Chorale will perform Eric Whitacre’s Water Night as well as pieces by Leonard Bernstein, Anton Bruckner and Alice Parker.

The USU Women’s Choir, under Shepherd’s direction, will perform music by Z Randall Stroope, Eric Whitacre and an arrangement of Amazing Grace featuring the Scotsmen Pipe and Drum Corps and the organ of St. Thomas Aquinas.

“Don’t miss a special solo appearance by renowned gospel singer Jeunee Roberts,” Evans said.
