The Denison University Chamber Singers will present a spring concert at 5 p.m. on Sunday (April 15) in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church, Granville. The concert is free and open to the public.

Selected composers for this concert include Lotti, Anton Bruckner, and Francis Poulenc, plus Ohio composer Elizabeth Alexander. Lighter pieces by Robert Beckhard and Mark Hayes will be featured as will the men of the choir and the graduating seniors. Kristen Grimshaw is the accompanist.

The Denison Chamber Singers is the University's vocal ensemble devoted to the study and performance of chamber music from all artistic periods but specializing in Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque literature: motets, madrigals, chanson, villiancicos, masses, and carols. "Early music," as this literature is often described, and its performance has taken the U.S. by storm in the last two decades. Denison University, in response to the incredible interest and popularity in early music at both the amateur and professional level, has established this ensemble to train young musicians in the art of performing and teaching this literature for and to a contemporary public.
