Marshall University Chorus to be joined by Cabell Midland
group in concert Thursday

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Cabell Midland High School’s Collegium Musicum, under the direction of T. Edwin Harkless, will join the Marshall University Chorus in a performance at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29 in Smith Recital Hall on Marshall’s Huntington campus.

“This is the largest choir I’ve had in three years here,” Robert Wray, director of the Marshall group, said. “The increase in number has led to us being able to perform a wider variety of music including music being used by both high school all-state ensembles this year. Cabell Midland is one of the premier high school choirs … We have a great relationship with CMHS so we consider this a great step in strengthening our relationship with them.”

The program includes works by Palestrina, Victoria, Dickau and Lauridsen as well as a special performance by Dr. Stephen Lawson, horn.
