UNK-  “I Dream a World” is the theme for the University of Nebraska at Kearney all choirs concert set for Sunday (Oct. 11) on the campus.

The Choraleers, UNK Vocal Collegium, University Women’s Choir and University Men’s Choir, all under the direction of Dr. David Bauer, will perform beginning at 3 p.m. in the UNK Fine Arts Recital Hall. According to Dr. Bauer, UNK director of choirs, each selection in the concert focuses on a dream of hope and peace to the world.

“This theme resonates with people in 2009, as it has forever,” Dr. Bauer said. “The listener is going to hear beautiful young voices singing beautiful repertoire.” Each choir will each perform a selection of songs related to the theme, and soloists will be featured among the groups throughout the performance.

Opening the concert will be the University Women’s Choir with the “Hymn to Freedom,” followed by the internationally acclaimed composition “Inscription of Hope.” The choir will conclude their portion of the concert with two compositions titled “Come to My Garden” and “We Rise Again.” The University Men’s Choir repertoire will include “Gonna Build a Mountain” and “Awakening.”

The UNK Vocal Collegium, a small vocal ensemble known for performing a cappella literature, will perform “These Things Shall Never Die,” “Look to this Day” and a gospel piece titled “Reach Out and Touch!”

The Choraleers will perform three 20th century compositions titled “Canticle: The Hungry Angels,” “In the Heart of the World” and “For the Sake of Our Children.”

All choirs will combine to conclude the evening with a performance of Joan Szymko’s setting of “I Dream a World.”
