Denison's Concert Choir will give its final performance of the season at 8 p.m. on Sunday (May 2) at Swasey Chapel. The concert, under the direction of Stephen Caracciolo, is free and open to the public.

The performance will feature American motets, folk songs and spirituals in the first half and European music for choir and brass in the second half. Organist Timothy Fields of Columbus will accompany the choir.

During the second half, the choir will be joined by instrumentalists on brass and percussion from the Heisey Wind Ensemble. They will join the 90-voice choir in performing Gabrieli's "In ecclesiis" and Vaughn Williams' "Festival Te Deum" and "O Clap Your Hands."

Established over 100 years ago, the University's Concert Choir is a community ensemble comprised of Denison students, faculty, staff, and local community members. Since its formation, choir members have dedicated themselves to the study and performance of large choral-orchestral masterworks.
