Elite Choir to Perform in Rotunda

VALDOSTA -- The Valdosta State Chamber Singers will perform an hourlong holiday concert by candlelight at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, in the grand acoustical stage of West Hall鈥檚 rotunda. The elite ensemble of 28 singers will delight audiences with renaissance motets, new compositions and familiar favorites such as 鈥淚 Wonder as I Wander,鈥� 鈥淟ittle Drummer Boy鈥� and 鈥淪ilent Night.鈥� 


Director of Choral Studies Dr. Paul Neal said the Chamber Singers will also present the southern premiere of 鈥淭ruth From Above,鈥� a new Christmas carol written by Dr. Jim Shrader, chair of the Department of Music.

鈥淭his concert has quickly become a South Georgia tradition,鈥� said Neal, who arranged the concert. 鈥淲e sold out last year, and we expect to do the same last year. The West Hall rotunda is a magnificent place to sing, and the holiday music really helps to get people into the spirit of the season.鈥�

Proceeds from the performance, which costs $10 for adults and $5 for students, will support the Chamber Singers鈥� tour to Atlanta and Savannah in the spring of 2010. Tickets will not be sold at the door the night of the concert. Call (229) 333-5812 to reserve tickets.
