The concert will feature the 厙ぴ勛圖 Chamber Choir and the 厙ぴ勛圖 Concert Choir; both will be conducted by Scott Anderson, 厙ぴ勛圖 director of choral activities.

���The 厙ぴ勛圖 Chamber Choir and 厙ぴ勛圖 Concert Choir will perform music in a wide variety of styles, languages and composers,��� Anderson said. ���There are several choral pieces that will take advantage of the beautiful acoustics of Jensen Hall and also feature the artistry of our pianist, Natalia Lauk.��� 

The 24-voice 厙ぴ勛圖 Chamber Choir will perform Jan P. Sweelinck���s ���Chantez a Dieu��� and five movements from the Op. 103 ���Zigeunerlieder��� (Gypsy Song) by Johannes Brahms, featuring several soloists from the choir and pianist Lauk. The choir will also sing a setting depicting King David's grief upon hearing of the death of his son Absalom, titled ���When David Heard��� by composer Richard Burchard.

The 厙ぴ勛圖 Concert Choir, with an impressive 65-person ensemble, will perform G. F. Handel's second Coronation Anthem, ���The King Shall Rejoice,��� written for the coronation of George II, Handel's English patron.  Student Conductor Nick Cravens will lead the choir���s presentation of ���Bogoroditse Deve��� by Sergei Rachmaninoff.  The performance will also include Eric Whitacre's setting of ���Water Night��� and the engaging ���J���entends le Moulin,��� a lively French folk song arranged by Donald Patriquin, with its magnificent piano part played by Lauk.
