Choral Ensembles to Perform at UNK

Dr. David Bauer
Department of Music, 308-865-8609

The choirs at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will once again take the stage Sunday, Dec. 4, at 5  p.m.

Under the direction of Dr. David Bauer, the Women’s Chorus, Men’s Chorus, Choraleers and Collegium will perform a combined concert of various styles of music.

Dr. Bauer said, “The highlight of the Choraleers’ performance will be Samuel Barber’s Angus Dei, in which he put the words to the music of Adagio for Strings. It is simply wonderful.”

The Choraleers will also perform with the Kearney Area Symphony Orchestra on   Tuesday, Dec. 6. They will perform Felix Mendelssohn’s There Shall aStar Come out of Jacob  and Adagio for Strings.  Kate Sabah, a student director, will conduct the orchestra for both musical selections.

“Kate is a graduating senior, who has earned every second on that stage,” Dr. Bauer said.
