Choirs perform in preparation for national conventionOct. 16, 2008 KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University recently became the only school in the nation to have two of its choral groups hand-picked to perform at an upcoming gathering of the National Collegiate Choral Organization.
University Chorale and the WMU women's chorus, Cantus Femina, were chosen through a highly competitive audition process to perform at the group's bi-annual convention, which takes place Oct. 29 through Nov. 1 in Cincinnati. No two of the other nine choruses chosen hail from the same school. In preparation for their convention performance, University Chorale and Cantus Femina, directed by James K. Bass and Dee Gauthier, respectively, will host a special preview concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, in the Dalton Center Recital Hall. The concert is open to the public free of charge, and it will feature works composed for pipe organ and choir, as well as a collection of newer pieces for the women's chorus.
